I believe Waukesha and Catapiller Engines have spread sheets that have the equations in them from their web site or sales reps.

You can look for the MN software from Caterpillar for natural gas engines, if you are working with Cat engines.

Otherwise, you can find a lot of information at the internet with the equations,and make the calculations yourself.

Its easy..Good Luck
