I've got the program but it has neither the 2.2L Mazda motor, nor the ability to have 2 intake/1 exhaust valve. So I don't use it.

Didn't seem like a large program

I've got the same program on my computer here at the house and it was very, very close to what my car did on the dyno. I also know a couple of friends of mine that entered their engine combinations and they too were almost exactly what the dyno showed. I think the program is pretty good up to a point.

Haven't tried anything but N/A combinations on it this far, so I can't really say anything about a turbo, supercharged or nitrous set-up.

Off the top of my head, one of the other things your gonna have to enter are the flow numbers from your heads up to .500 lift.
