Is there a website to go to if I wanted to know the best combination of parts to install on a specific engine block. Say I had a Chevy 350. I want to figure out which heads are best with whatever kind of rockers and lifters and if how much clearance I'll need, running whatever kind of compression with whatever cam. Or for instance a reccomendation for all the parts needed with all the specs for a requested amount of horsepower and torque with whatever rating of fuel.

tried desktop dyno? its software, not a web site.

I dont think there is anyway for software to account for ported heads and intake manifolds. It probably won't be anywhere near accurate.

i have desktop dyno, it has a thing to put in specs on head flow, and has different type of heads, it has a lot of specifics, and supposedly accurate within 5-10%, i don't know that for sure, so i won't say it is, but that's thier claim
