otherwise everyone would have one in their garage, thats on the lower end too, you also need a lot of extra stuff too. Not to mention if you want to do tuning then thats a bunch more money.. but... Doing 120+ mph 30 times a day.... Priceless!!

Well we are in the process of opening up a custom bodyshop, but also wanted to expand and offer a/m performance upgrades as well as tuning. I just thought it would be a cool thing to have. I guess we will have to add it to the 'in the future' list.

You can get a dynojet for around $20K+++ with options. , but a real load bearing dyno, such as mustang or superflow are in the $50K range.
