Why use engine simulation software before building a Flathead?

Steve says it is far easier to try cams, stroke length, carburetor size and supercharger or not on a computer at home than to spend the money building an engine and find out it is a bad combination. He finds it very precise: the engine tested in January was predicted at about 290 and made 290 to 300.
