Thanks, Neels. Good stuff. I would love to play with this for some of the vintage stuff.

Interestingly no-one is commenting on the second video which is on how Hendrick Motorsports is using the software.

Good video. Wish they did some white papers like Honda does.

I love looking at modern NASCAR combustion chambers and piston tops, knowing how much work, testing, measuring, simulating, etc. has been done to maximize combustion efficiency. Here is a contemporary Chevy R07 chamber (currently on eBay):

You could probably bring these images into CAD, scale it to a known (bore size, retainer diameter, etc) and get some measurements.

R07 pistons. Not sure if they compliment this particular chamber, but look close to what I have seen in others:
