  1. Fatigue and Stress Analysis reports have been added, to estimate the life of the springs. 
  2. Beehive and Tapered springs have been added as Spring Types.

2) Christmas Is Coming  Just a reminder that Christmas will be here in just a few weeks.  If you've been thinking of getting one of our products, put it on your Christmas list.     Maybe Santa will be extra good to you this year (as long as you've been nice   ).

  for some ideas of what to ask for, starting at $49.95 for our Compression Ratio Calculator, Transmission Gear Calculator, Fuel Injector Calculator and other computer programs.  Or maybe get an update or upgrade to something you already own.

Software can be "email shipped" almost up to Christmas Day.  However, anything that requires UPS shipping should be ordered by Dec 15 to ensure Christmas delivery.  If after Dec 17, it may require Next Day Air shipping.  For last minute shopping ideas, visit our website.  All software products have a shopping cart option and can be ordered on line.  To order updates, send an email because we have to verify you are a registered owner to qualify for update pricing.
