Call SG Dyno and see if a Saturday would be available and if they'll give us a group rate of 40-50$ with 5-1X amount of cars... It can't help to look around

Maybe but if so he doesn't do it regularly, but I'm not planning on him doing anything other than running the dyno. If I wanted a full on Dyno tune I'd give Rob@SP a call. I could care less if it was a Honda shop as long as they have a quality dyno, are reasonable with pricing, and are local...

Besides, we can't be picky since we don't have many options.
As long as everyone is cool with this, I down for any place.

Unless anyone is against this, I say you call Greg and get an idea of when he would be willing to do this for us and a cost.
I'll check SG Dyno out and ask the same.
In the meantime, I say we start a list of who would be up for a dyno day in L.A.

I would consider that drive for a big job, but not something like a small tune.
I'm sure I'm not the only person in L.A. looking for a local shop.

I know the co-owner of the shop he is an LS1 guy mostly. He has a Black C5 with twin rear mount turbo. Cool guy and pretty good with cars, so I would say don't be afraid to check it out at least, then make your decision. His name is Joe, you could just ask for him if you want someone LSX based.

He is talking about South Gate Dyno.
That's the vette I usually see outside.
This gives me a bit more hope in finding a good shop.

Without a doubt, Ryan is good. I just can't see myself driving 160 miles to go and come back from Lake Elsinore everytime I need some work done.
I would consider that drive for a big job, but not something like a small tune.
I'm sure I'm not the only person in L.A. looking for a local shop.

Besides, we can't totaly dis-count South Gate Dyno. All good shops out there started the same way. They may be good, they may not.........there's only one way to find out.
