Dyno Shops in So.Cal

Anyone know any shops that can do 3 baseline, install, and 7+ pulls afterwards for an intake? All the shops I've asked so far want around $200+ dinero.

According to G2Envy, there is a dyno shop that does $10 per pull but that's in San Diego, and I am in Los Angeles...

Anyone have anywhere in mind that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

If you're gonna be occupying their dyno for a long period of time, I'd expect to pay for that time, since another customer won't be using it while you're on it.

Try paying for 2 baseline sessions on OCG35's Dyno day...

I need to do everything in one day, can't do baseline one day and the other runs another day.

Westech Performance Group in Mira Loma, CA (pretty much here in Riverside) has packages that start at $125/hour or $650 a day... Check out the bottom of the page... I called them to see what exactly the package consisted of, but they didn't answer...

Is this for III BTW?

Yeah, it's for the Stillen intake. The install is killing me on the dyno price....

Dang... Was gonna say if you did, maybe you could open up the holes you need to for the tubes before you head to the dyno so you won't waste time doin' it while you're there...

I think I might just pass up the testing as a whole, going to cost me more than buying the intake for retail...

That's true dude. Not worth it i would say. You're already doing the testing and you have to pay for the intake and dyno. That's just not right at all.

if all you're testing is intakes... it should be cheap and easy to do at the dyno day... $40 for 2 separate 2 pull sessions... do 2 pulls with OEM, get off the machine, install the Stillen (there will be plenty of us to help, it's not difficult), then get back on and do 2 more pulls.

Problem is, they want 3 baseline, and like 8 pulls afterwards. From what I heard bumper needs to be removed and Stillen wants the car on dyno at all times....

Did you pay for the intakes? If you did, this seems rather steep...

Hey Stillballin, you might want to check with the dyno shops to see if they have tuning sessions for the dyno. If they do then a tuning session is usually for a set time, an hour normally, and you get to do as many runs as you want. This should be cheaper than paying for 3 runs at 75 to 100 a pop. Just a thought.
