Default What area needs a Dyno?

Just like the title says, is there anywhere in Texas that is lacking a dyno? It must be a well populated area, I'm researching this for a 2-4 year down the road business plan. Thanks,

Cody

its a 45 min drive at like 30 mph. i can leave HPE and be in tomball in 20 minutes, driveway to driveway. now a place that needs a dyno is Waco. the street scene is coming along, and the ability to dyno would help take them to the next level. they have a good speed shop(L&B Performance), plus all the kids with hot cars from all over the country that go to Baylor, and all the people that work on their own cars and the import scene. if i could afford a dyno, i'd have done it myself.

I second the dyno needs to be in WACO!!! I don't want to drive all the way to Dallas to get a tune and I am sure there are plenty of other guys/gals around here who would be all for it! Especially since there are so many high quality and high dollar performance cars on the Baylor campus.

Longview/ Tyler area. I believe the closest place around is Dallas which is about 160 miles from here, Been kicken the Idea around About putting one in, Lots of drag racers left around, And our drag strip In Hallsville, which is about a 15 minute drive from Longview recently closed. Might be worth a little research, good population numbers, and economy stays pretty good. Just a thought!!!
