Default Houston area Chassis Dyno's open this Saturday?

I'm wanting to dyno and possibly tune a little. My T76 Turbo equipped 96 Z28 is running good, if a little rich on boost (14psi).
Thanks!

Based on getusum's response, is Fatal/Jeff near Humble? That's where I am right now, visiting a friend. Does Jeff/Fatal have a website or do you have an address for them?
Thanks,

Wow... Okay. Thanks for the tip. I'm surprised that most shops I've checked with aren't open on Sat. They're having a street brawl at SAR this weekend. I'm hoping to dyno Saturday and then drive out to SAR and do some racing and watch some of the higher end street racers.

I lived in Ark for quite a few years. Dated some of the best girls I've ever known while I was there. Real sweethearts.

Don't worry about all the fords in the shop....Jeff is a diehard gm guy...All the guys in the shop are great....Met them a few years back...Went to get my car tuned, had some beer, woke up on Jeff Cummins couch....

You won't be dissappointed by letting Jeff tune your car....He stands behind it...Look forward to meeting ya this weekend....

Fatal is on FM 1960 about half way between I-45 and Hi=Way 59; It is on the North SIde of Fm 1960 and opens up at 9:00Am on Saturdays. Are you using a stock computer or after market stand alone. For stock they have both HP Tuners and also EFI Live.
Shop is next to a Volvo Equipment Rental Place.
Most people do not know it but I own the Dyno and all the tuning software for the shop.
Mustang Dyno which will humble you on the numbers because it is stingy, but Mustang Dyno's are the best for tuning. Hope Fatal can help you out.

I don't think they can tune the OBDI LT1 computers with that software. I have LT1 Edit and Tunercat and upon reading some of the documentation in the Tuning Stickies, I may be okay for the most part. Mostly I just want to get a baseline. When I was ordering parts for the build I told them all my goal was 600+ RWHP. This was put to the Turbo Vendor, the cam designer and the Tuner. I've never driven a car that had more than 500 rwhp (My prior 355 with H/C/H and 150 shot). Currently the car now feels so much quicker by far. BUt that's just the notoriously inaccurate Butt-o-meter...

He is absolutely right about being humbled......Mustang dynos tend to show around 6%-10% differance than a dyno jet....
