Yup, dyno'd my old '97 Z28 there in '98 or '99. Still have the sheet. I think Mike was one of the owners IIRC. He had a white LT1 Formula back then, then bought the FRC.

I remember Area 51.

How about Dyno-Tech? Remember that shop? When it was in Irving?
I think the dyno that SpeedTech has in Dallas is Harrington's old dyno ... I think. The chain of custody is a tick fuzzy ... Chris to Sean to Keith, IIRC

SuperShops went under nationwide in late '97 or early '98 IIRC.

First time I went to Harry's Hot Rod shop in Grand Prairie was 1986.
