Default Dyno time and tuning now available

We finally got things up and running. We have openings for pulls, tuning and hourly rental.

Just incase you guys didnt know we went a different route and went with a Mustang Dyno. More and more people are realizing that these are the dynos to go with. A regular Dynojet is just a intertia dyno, meaning its really just a free spinning dyno and on any other Inertia Dyno, the car is tuned to the Dyno were as a mustang the Dyno is tuned to the car. We have what is called a eddie current or a "Load Dyno" basically what it is, is a giant magent that puts certian load on that you tell too. We have to know the cars weight, which we do with our digital scales and then look up what the wind drag number. Basically this number is the wind drag at or above 50 mph.
On Inertia This will give you real road simulation, which makes it 10 times better for tuning.

Everyone knows that you will never have no resistance like inertia only dynos when your at the track. Also with the weight factor is another easy way put, on a inertia dyno, say your rollers have a 3700 pound rating, well what happens if your car weighs in at 3000 pounds? It basically means you are towing a 700 pound trailer behind you. Another cool example of how it works is say you have a truck that you might not know if it can handle a trailer with a car in it or some sort. We can put the truck on the dyno and if we know what the weight of the trailer and car is simulate that on the dyno and factor in incline or decline into that also.

We can also go through a drive cycle on the dyno if you have any problems with your cars that happens only at a certian mph. Of course out of the whole thing, the best part of the dyno is the 1/4 mile simulation!! This is a dragracers dream. We put it to the test and all I can say is Watch right click and save HERE

Just to go the extra special route, each car gets its own CD footage of its pulls for free.

So PM us for details and pricing.

Yup he was zoning out at the computer watching the tree and I swear that even strapped down if you watch the video, the car jerked the front wheel. You cant see it because of the Fan.

How much are you guys charging for dyno pulls/tuning? I'm planning on getting a full tune this summer and was planning on going to Speed Inc. as they're the closest to me but you'd be the same distance.

Actually we are right off I80 so definetly alot closer if your in IN. Right now we are charging 300.

Silverghost, basically we are doing 2 runs, because on the first run if you have slicks they are cold, so this heats them up. On every 2nd run it was accurate within a mph and a 1/10th.

how extreme of an LS1 have you done before?
what software do you use to tune?
what wideband do you use?

242/248 .610/.615 on a 111 lsa
home ported heads milled .030
.110 flycut stock pistons
ARP rod bolts
ARP head bolts
Felpro head gaskets
200 direct port Cold Fusion
Mafless
O2 less
28.8 injectors instead of stock 26's

i have HPTuners to tweek as weather changes and will have a wideband O2 to moniter everything. just need a good safe tune to help me try to last thru half the year atleast

what kind of gas should i run? 100 octane enough or is it time to step up? if so, what should i step up to? spin it to 6700 on the jug?

sorry for all the questions. i was planning on going to speed but if you are able to do it, i'll give it a shot

MAFLESS? It sounds like you should be the tuning expert. That's pretty hardcore as far as tuning is involved.

PS~ Wanna race a fellow LS1?
