Dyno Dynamics AWD dyno in Houston????
Dyno Dynamics AWD dyno in Houston????
Nope, not yet, but that's something we'd like to see change very soon.
The question I ask is, WHERE????? What shops in the Houston area do you all do business with, and what shops would you be most likely to do more business with if they were equipped with a Dyno Dynamics AWD dyno like Vishnu Performance?
We are currently offering our AWD dyno at very special pricing and believe that there is a HUGE AWD crowd in this part of the country that would be very eager to run the rollers off one of these things. The question is, who would you like to see add this service to their current lineup of products and service offerings?

Well, there are more and more AWD vehicles on the road every day. I've had a lot of people call me to ask if I can point them in the direction of one of our dynos in Houston, but to the best of my knowlege, there isn't one. If somebody in Houston got our AWD dyno like Shiv at Vishnu Performance, they'd make an absolute killing, I'm sure. Mention it to your favorite shops and have them get in contact with me if they'd like some info.

The problem is that no one in Houston specializes in Subaru or AWD for that matter. turbochargers.com has a AWD dyno but they do not tune. I think SGP also has a AWD dyno but haven't heard much about them. What we really need is a good tuner.

I've had several shops in Houston checking out our dynos, and they know very well that there's a real market for them there. The big hang-up is that everyone's waiting to see what the other guy is going to do, everyone's got cold feet. 
As far as Houston needing a tuner. . . . we provide expert training for tuning and engine mapping by Ben Strader at www.efi101.com . Anyone with the aptitude to learn the techniques who attends his training courses would probably make a lot of money in Houston, especially if he/she had access to one of our dynos. That being said, anyone who is interested in this type of thing owes it to themselves to give Ben or myself a call to learn more. I'll be at the SEMA show in Los Vegas in a little less than two weeks, as will Ben. I invite you all to come visit our booths and talk more about tuning.

What a lot of people don't realize though, is tuning isn't difficult to do correctly if you've got the right equipment. Our dynos make it incredibly easy to reliably and safely tune a car for best power, driveability, emissions, etc. That's not to say that we promise to make Cooter down at Jiffy-Lube a world-class tuner if he gets a Dyno Dynamics rig, but it does mean that a competent individual with an understanding of tuning fundamentals can do a pretty damn good job using our machine and a little training/practice.

Any shop who's got a Dyno Dynamics AWD dyno is NOT just farting around trying to sell more coffee can mufflers. The cost alone is enough to seperate the grain from the chaff with regards to these dynos and the shops/tuners that have them. The best equipment costs more. Cooter hasn't got pockets this deep.

The Dyno has arrived. . . . .
www.enginelogics.com
That's the Dyno Dynamics AWD 450 Lowboy chassis dyno with optional twin retarder rear bed.
Discuss. . . .
