I live in Richboro,Pa. Bucks County and I would like to find a place to get a Dyno Tune Up. I have the original motor but with a few mods. It has around 450 horse power. I went last week to the Corvette Challenge at Englishtown and my time was 13 .3 seconds at 104.69 miles per hour. I just put a Holley 4 barrel double pumper on with MSD and a Pro Billet Dist. and I want to make sure I am getting the MAX . If you know of a place to get the Tune Up down in my area I will be thankful.DON

With the info you have from your time slip, you can figure out your horsepower numbers without a chassis dyno. Many web sites have the math formulas to calculate this. If you tune alot, and want data you can use immediately, for the cost of 3 or 4 chassis dyno runs, you can own a performance computer, use it every run at the track, see immediately what timing and jetting changes are doing for you, and even rent it to people to recoup your investment.

I don't remember any sites with that kind of formula. Could you give us one or two URLs?

Dutch,
That site was great. As you know, Pottstown is right around the corner from me.
Thanks !!

Glen,
I have used high street performance in Pottstown on two different times. Last time they didn't even have paper for Dyno Run Print out, not graph, just plain copy paper.
Travel a little and try Second Street Speed! Even though i have never used them personally, they have a very good reputation. Last i heard it was $150.00 per hour labor for full Dyno tune. If you get it close you should only be 1 hour.
See you at next month's meeting!
