Last Millennium (about 17 years ago) I had a computer system that looked at the tachometer pulses off an engine (or motor) and would plot the RPM as a function of time. If you entered the gear ratios and the weight of the vehicle, the system would also calculate the torque and horsepower curves during that acceleration. I built this for a friend that said " I would give someone $100 to tell me the optimal shift points for my car." I only charged $25 for the service and $1 for each printout of results.
About 12 years ago, I upgraded the system to use a gAnalyist for input device instead of the tach signal to work better with non-lockup torque converters. The original software is in my archive somewhere and could be updated to get it to run in a currently supported operating system. If it were ported to Windows, the only special resource needed to run the software would be a sound card to input the tach waveform. Is there any interest in doing this?
