Default Engine dyno in CT ?

Well it looks like im going to pull my newish aluminum block out to have it tig welded where the starter bolt hole threads broke :/ While I have it out is there a good place i can bring it near the west haven area to put the motor on the engine dyno ? It's a aluminum 402 block with AFR heads, fast 90/90, and 42 lb injectors. Not sure what they use on the dynos to tune the motors as far as ignition etc... but i would assume they have the equipment to dyno this combo.

Thanks
Ron H.

Kehl Tech in Northford.

Kehl Technologies is what you might find them under in the phonebook.


Also: Andy's Automotive Machine in Plainville, CT.


Neither of these two places are site sponsors altough Kehl Tech builds motors for Eastside. I know for sure neither has a standalone setup to be able to dyno a ls(X) motor on either. You would need to get your own controller: BIGSTUFF3, Painless Standalone, etc.

SLP is 3 hours away. That may be your best bet for a shop that has an engine dyno with everything you need for an LSx.

I think Golen Engine in Hudson NH has an engine dyno. I saw some nice LSX engines on stands when I was there last.
