Yep, I use one often. Don't know how accurate it is, but you can see if you are making a positive or negative effect on the motor and know if your RPM range is where you think it is. I use Performance Trends Engine Analyzer. It works fairly well.

I use it. If you are honest about the data that you are putting in, it has the potential to tell you that you what you are going to run. I use the desk top Dyno and the Desk top Drag. With my motor set up in Dyno and imported in to drag, my best E.T. should have been around 12.48 1/4 mile and 105 mph. My actual was 12.52 @ 104.5. My new motor set up should run 11.50 @ 117 actual is 11.73 @ 115. Please not that I have not even touched the new carb. That was straight out of the box, but I'm sure that I will hit the numbers that desktop shows.
