Default dyno in VA, D.C., MD area?

Hi all

Moved to Alexandria a couple of months ago and would like to dyno my car.

Thanks
Bud

Welcome to the area. I don't know any in NoVA, check Eastern F-Body there's a couple of shops in Baltimor listed there.

lol, Mark, don't you realize you have already met dbhajek at the get-together at Red Robin a couple months back in summer? He was the one with the 402 vette (I believe). So soon we forget. And yea, there's a couple dyno's in the Baltimore area. PSI in glen burnie is where i have gotten work done and they have a mustang dyno there (which I would prefer for tuning). There's also Woodbridge dynotech which has a dynojet down in southern va i think near richmond.

Woodbridge Dynotech is gone. John Sealock the owner died last summer. His shop was just south of Stafford and where I had mine done in 2003. A nice guy Blk97WS6, that replied in my post in the dyno section about my bad experience at FCCT in Sterling said there is a good place called Ultimate Auto which I think he said is in Sterling too. PM him about it. I'm taking mine down to Carolina Auto in Raliegh in Feb or so to get dynotuned after we install the LS6 intake

Hey dbhajek, do you go out driving often. Just wondering if I'll ever see you around.
We should do another meet when it's warmer, but this time LOCALLY. Not some damn 3.5 hour drive to VA Beach for super accurate dyno numbers.

Our dyno works pretty good... just had a 3500+ lb car go 8s first time out on the setup and drive home, right off the dyno

We use HPTuner, I like the real time tuning that some of the operating systems support

Fbody Central does dyno and tuning.

As does PSI which i highly reccommend Jeff (grannyshifting) for a tune

and also Carolina Automasters as well mainly for FI cars. but im more apt to stick with PSI over CAM

also if you are only going to dyno there is a place in chantilly that has one. eb3 motorsports NON SPONSOR INFO REMOVED they dont have LS1 tuning abilities yet.
