Since then, we have expanded the product line to 30 engine building and racing computer programs.

Our most popular software would be the Engine Analyzer which is our Engine Simulation Software. We have three versions of Engine Analyzer, the Standard (basic), Plus, and Pro versions. Each one goes into more detail inputs for simulating more advanced engine modifications, offers improved accuracy, but do require you to know more about your engine.

Performance Trends has wide variety of Drag Racing Software. From Drag Racing Analyzer which can help you check for vehicle modifications to improve ET and MPH (or make dial in or throttle stop changes) to the Practice Tree which allows you to work on your reaction time.
