Didn't mean to be down on you, thanks for sharing the info.

A "new" dyno in the area, who's trying to win new customers, should try to price their service competitively with previously existing solutions. Otherwise they ain't winning anybody over. What does this shop have to offer that justifies twice the price of ATP? Actual fans?

dyno dynamics are probably the best because of all the load features they have. mustangs are good also....

no im not saying they dont have load features but from what ive read that the features arent as easy to use. also that there are sometimes traction issues with mustang dynos because of the rollers.
