What it is useful for is to change compression and cam parameters and see where shifts in torque occur in the rpm band. Useful for comparisons. Your own interpretation and background will be required to get anything useful out of it. This depends on how deep your knowledge pool is.
Jaime, as long as it was not egregiously wrong in terms of theory I wouldn't care. I'm not looking to simulate an actual engine build so precision is not the goal.

And you hit right on one of the things I wanted to simulate -- how various cam differences affect the torque curve.

Do any of the water pumper Porsche motors incorporate some kind of variable cam timing?

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy car parts which is kind of the same thing.
