Default Dyno Day ??

I have spoken to a few S. FL members who have indicated a desire to have their car dyno'ed. If someone can point me in a direction of a good shop - maybe Ft. Lauderdale area ? I would be happy to try and set up a Dyno day for the members. I have heard it runs about $200 - $250 for the day, so if we get 5 - 10 members, the cost would be very low. Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Jason

I'd be interested. check into it tho, I think it's 200-250 for 2 or 3 hrs, which could be enough for 4 or 5 cars to do two runs each. Could always buy 2 slots if there's enough people. I've heard there's a shop in WPB, but I can't track it down. Also heard there's one in Boca, but the shop name the guy gave me wasn't listed.

Anyway, I just painted my calipers red. I know that gives 3-5HP extra, need to dyno to confirm.

How many runs for $50 ... just trying to get an idea. Also, do you happen have a number for them or is TPS short for a longer name - I will try to look them up. Thanks for the info.

It's the big ol' thing that measures your cars horsepower. Short for Dynojet something or other.

Dolfandrus, where on Dixie is TPS? Thanks. That's the same name another guy gave me but I can't find them.
