Used by over 50 FSAE Teams
Pete Spence from TRD (former Toyota
Racing development) commented: “There is no doubt that the Automated Design Expert System and Virtual 4-stroke have helped us create better engines faster than ever before, contributing to our success on the track and on the road."

Geoff Burgess (former VP Engineering, S&S Cycle) Commented: "Using Virtual 4-stroke(V4S) and Automated Design(AD) has changed the way we look at engine design. Not being constrained by the number of prototypes we can build, we can really look at new avenues to find better performance. Not only can we evaluate designs that we might never have tried, but we can also do it unbelievably quickly. On the PSB60 project we were able to find an extra 15% power using AD for cam and exhaust system design improvements which was critical to make this engine competitive in V-Twin drag racing."
Kevin Kwiatkowski (from Raetech) commented:"OPTIMUM's Automated Design and Network supercomputer enabled us to simultaneously dial in our cam parameters with induction and exhaust configuration. The performance of the best simulated configuration was astonishingly echoed on the dyno, and this confidence in our simulations coupled to the speed of the system, played a major role in winning the National Championship this season".
