I just spoke to someone about a dyno package with the roll up ramps for about $15,000. It just mounts to the floor of your concrete bay area. I supply the pc and such. Not a bad deal! Now to see if I can get it to Canada without doubling the price.

There is a DEFINITE demand for one here, that's why I'm considering it. I'll start off on weekends only and then step it up once business picks up. I want to go full out and eventually have some skilled staff to do tuning and to be able to distribute parts. Gonna strike a deal with one of our local custom exhaust shops here. Referrals man!

We priced dynojets before. Under 20 for a nice in ground 2wd setup. Close to 50 for an above ground AWD/2000hp capable setup with a 4 post lift.

If you're gonna go the cheaper way and do the in ground, make sure the place you're leasing will allow it. Most wont.

Adjustable eddy current(load/resistance) is nice too.

What applications would I benefit in having this be? Just curious because I have come across this in my research. Thanks.

Tuning at less than full throttle.

I would advise some classes pertaining to business. It would suck to owe a bunch of money for a business that wasnt making you any money.

dynapak.

above ground, mobile (ish) there heavy.

but one of the best out there for tuning, just jack up the car and mount to the hubs, no fussing around with straps and driving the car on / off etc....

set it up in any shop, parking lot, etc....

You are never going to pay for the dyno doing just hp pulls. You will need to do tuning to pay off your investment.

The concrete work shown is likely 8-10K around here, that is some quality work.

Here there are 12 dyno's or more in a 30 mile drive, dyno time is cheap, and plentiful.
