That gives you theoretical performance insight into horsepower and torque via different bore and stroke combinations, cam profiles, cylinder head and intake flow, rocker arm ratios, and more. These programs allow you to experiment with various engine component and dimensional combinations. However, software related to engine building can serve as a tremendous aid in your quest to design and, in some cases, test a virtual engine build combination. Machining and assembly skills are still required for the build itself.
