Default Dyno in DFW?

Wanting to throw the old turbo blazer on the rollers tomarrow. Havent used a dyno since the days of RPM in Lewisville.

What shops around (prefer Ft Worth or Mansfield area) have a Dyno that aren't ***** when you call them to try and setup a few pulls? Thanks fellas

I haven't gone to Speedtek in years since I was treated like I was stupid on multiple occasions by their staff. I used RPM in Lewisville and was treated like family every time I went in. Too bad they aren't around anymore. Maybe Speedtek has changed for the better but I know a lot of folks who have had the same experience there as I did.

I worked at Speedtek as a second job back in 2006 and parts for cost. Reuben isnt there anymore, so you don't have to worry about getting rushed around and put on hold. As a matter of fact, Keith, the owner of Speedtek bought most of RPM I think. We had their LS1 Edit cables after they shut their doors.

Far from it. Maybe you should stop by there sometime. It's not the same
Place it was 10 years ago.

I'll definitely check into that, thanks bud!

On the Speedtek comment I made, maybe that was unfair. It is entirely possible things are waaaay different than 10 years ago, shoot they are still in business so it must not be to bad. Keith and I go way back to the old Super Shop days. I remember burning out in the parking lot (Yes with their approval as peer pressure is a ***** when your 16) I did notice on their website that the Dallas location is no longer? What happened?

Never made it. After I found out I maxed the injectors out on 12psi I called it a day. Once I get some fatter injectors I might go at it. I did make a few sweet videos tho!

Yes my Corvette tune was sold to Speedtek. Sold the car before I ever needed more dyno time. I would have given them a try for that but never added anything major after the longtubes and stall.
