The dyno has its own 1200sqft room that is separated by an insulated wall.

Started off with just naming the race team FWMotorsports but then there would be two names, two numbers, etc. that the decision was made to drop Dbtuned.

That's exactly what I was first thinking as well.

This is a cause that I believe so completely in, I am literally pitting my money where my mouth is.
Awesome, very cool to know that some of the proceeds are going to a good cause like that.

Hey paul, can your dyno handle a bigger truck? Ive wanted to stick the 4runner up on a dyno and see how she does, but with dynamic balanced 33's most people wont let it near theirs.

Well, now that I have complete blow through ventilation, I'll put my Dodge 2500 on the dyno & get back to you.

As long as your tires are smooth, there shouldn't be a problem.

"smooth" is a relitive term, its got MT/R goodyears on it, siped. So its a loud ***** going down the road, lots of tire hum, but they are round with no flat spots.

I was gonna ask you if you coud run a truck on the dyno. Im going to start doing some turbo stuff for the diesels and was gonna talk my boss into using you for doing dyno runs for showing the power, etc.... So let me know what you find out when you try yours.

Also I just remembered yesterday that you wanted ramps, let me know what you need and i can build em.
