Where to dyno???? Well I had to ask because Turbo Tech. (Which is closest to me) charges $50 for the first pull and $10 for each additional pull!!! 
So, I figured that I'd ask to see if there is a better/less expensive place worth driving to? I don't want to spend $20 in gas to go pay $40 though.........that wouldn't make sense. I plan on getting the Ol' Vette dyno'd come the weekend of the 15th.

Alot of times what we do is get a club rate, A bunch of us gets together to go to one of the many Dynos in the area & then everyone that is intrested in it spilt the cost of buying the dyno for the whole day. really fun time.
I seem to recall two dyno days last year, one around the beginning of the season, and another at the end. If you are planning to mod right away, then go get your baseline. If you aren't modding soon, and are willing to wait a couple months, there'll probably be a dyno day in the Spring.

I know some of the members have had less than pleasurable experience (I don't want to fester anything between anyone, Hell I'm not even sure what happened! ) but another local board www.cascadecrew.org is having a dyno day in portland the weekend of the 28th.

Absolutely.......
The standard rate for dynoing is $75-125 for 3 wideband pulls Jon, and somewhere between $100-200 an hour for tuning. I can usually get us better deals @ Little Monsters in Marysville than other places will offer cuz I go there a LOT. And one of the guys is on the Ford Drag Team. But I figure we will have a dyno day next month sometime, for sure by March. I hope to be ready by then, as should Ellis & a few others. Tho I'll probably have to pay for Ellis's dyno just so he'll help me tune mine.

Well I'm absolutely up to doing a dyno day, but there is one little problem..............I deploy at the middle to end of February and won't be back till Late June or maybe not even till the middle of July. So if we got one going before then, I would be more than happy to attend! However, if we can't get things going by then, I have been itching to see what this car makes! I've been in the dark for a very long time!

Other than the spray, a transmission brace is all I'm adding! I already went through the whole drive train and replaced everything short of the engine! New clutch, flywheel, master/slave, driveshaft, rear differential, and last but not least was the headers.......... Thread Starter
