Fast Specialties in Vancouver, WA has a new Dyno up and running. Available in the evenings as well as on Sat. and by appointment on Sundays. It's an MD1750 SE with full 1/4 mile simulation, 1750 HP, 225 MPH capable.

Excellent chance for some "indoor" drag racing.

3 pulls= $65.00
HP&torque +AFR 3 pulls=$70.00
Lease of dyno per hour =$80.00
Lease w/AFR=$90.00

Tuning: $125.00

One benefit...7 days a week..evenings.
And it tunes under actual load.
As a bracket racer, having the ability to dial in my ET pre-season will definitely be a help.

I've been to Ron's shop, it's very nice. BIG shop, very well layed out from what I saw.

Should be a good addition to the local performance market

Your prices are definitely OK, but I personally don't mind paying more if I know the guy working on my car knows his S**T. The price can be free for all intents but its worthless if the El-cheapo place don't know nothing and or worse case scenario screws up your car!

So whats your experience record as far as chip tuning on EFI cars? Got any references ? How many years of experience do you have doing this. Just because you are new in town I think I want to know more about you before I would trust you to tweak my PCM. Just because a shop has a good dyno don't mean they know what to do with it. No pun intended, I just want to know what your back ground is and what your experience levels are. For instance, I wouldn't take my new Cobra to Torque Freaks if they were the last dyno shop on earth, now if I had a rice burner ya maybe then I would. As far as just making a pass on their dyno thats OK, anyone can run a dyno with an hour of training.....but to let them do tuning, no way!

Ya, there are several dyno shops in the PDX area, only a couple would I even trust to work on my car when it comes to doing actual PCM tuning. Todays modern EFI cars are pretty damn complex with thousands of lines of code in their PCMs. Just having all the nice tools and equipment don't quite cut it unless you got the know how to use it and apply it. Just my two bits.

Oh, I am new here but I have been lurking for a long time, there seems to be lot of nice people here and lots of usefull info as well.

Just have Chung from Blue Oval tune your EEC with the Superchips SCT. I think he uses another shop for dyning but that may change. I know I'd recommend him as far as that goes. You can just lease the dyno and have him meet you there or you could just pay him and he'll pay the dyno fee. Give him a call, he and Jeff at All Ford Perfomance are the guys to see for that kind of stuff.

Feel free to PM me if you have anymore questions or you're interested in knowing more info about other local shops. Nothing bad to say about Jon and Paul at Krazy Koncepts either. Couple of great guys, if you ask me! Can't make anymore comments about other shops on the web.

Jeff was one I was referning to without naming names. I know Jeff has been at it for a long time in the performance business. Chung is the internet sales dude, Jeff is the tech. Oh and as far as I know he uses Torque Freaks dyno.

Well??????

Dr. Rockenhiemer, They never answered your question? Do they have any tuning experience? I am from Gig Harbor, and Blood enterprises has like a 4 week wait to get on his dyno. I came down your way to a shop called Wide Open Performance. They have a mustang dyno and a guy named Tom Wong he is bad ass. I have kind of a basket case it is a 98 gt with a 2000 cobra motor. I had Diablo do some tuning and it would ping and surge but Tom Wong at Wide Open Performance nailed it, it runs great and picked up 23 hp and .8 seconds 0-60. They are installing a ATI procharger in mid January and I cant wait. The best thing is these guys race and really understand real world conditions. So I guess the bottom line is you better know who is tuning your stuff and if they have no experience run as fast as you can!!!
