Dyno recommendations for Tacoma area?
Anybody know of a good dyno shop in the Tacoma area? I'd be looking for one that would let me do my own tuning, rather then having them do the tuning.

From Turbo Tech's web site:
Availability / Rent
Base pulls can usually be done that same day as long as we aren't using the dyno already. Tuning sessions can be made by appointment and usually scheduled within 48 hours of inquiry.
Big DIYer? We can rent the dyno out per hour for $150 IF we think you are capable of doing so.
They do tuning themselves, but it looks like they might be willing to work with you to rent the time.

Better check if their dyno is equipped with a PAU if you are requiring part throttle tuning. If they don't there is no way you can accurately map any EFI system or carbureted system with out load capability. Typical Dyno-Jets are NOT equipped with a eddy current power absorber to properly load the engine. They do have a friction braking device that can load it to a point but its highly inaccurate, as with any friction type loading device, as it heats ups the coefficient of friction changes and the load changes accordingly. Unless dyno-jet has some highly advanced PLC control alogrithms to compensate you will constantly be jacking around with their load controls. The best way is with a eddy current pau equipped dyno such as a Mustang, SuperFlow or DynoDynamics or a Dyno-jet that has a eddy current PAU. You can still do WOT runs on them, but not part throttle, because once their rolls are up to constant speed the car is just going along for the ride on the rolls with virtually no load on the engine.

Lol! Ryan - I think I was imagining some mobster movie when I read your post. "Hey Frankie two-toes, Nick sent me to bust 'ya kneecaps."
Ok, I will call Nick at Turbo Tech to tell him that Ryan sent me.
