West Bend Dyno tuning
Just wanted to say that I just took my camaro there last night & put it up on a dyno. After about 15 or so runs, I gained 25 rwhp & around 30 rwtq over last years numbers. This is by having a tuner that is familiar with TPI cars. Though it is converted to a mini-ram intake, I still have the factory 5.7 rotating assembly & ecm. I was able to generate a total of 306 rwhp & 310 rwtq.

Re: West Bend Dyno tuning
I think Forrest has his own shop now, somewhere else. Brad is the one in charge at WBD now. Still very knowledgable, again its amazing what they can pull out of a motor in terms of hp & tq by just tuning the car. They said once I remove my cat and re-tune it, there's no reason I shouldn't pull another 30 or better horse out of it.

Re: West Bend Dyno tuning
I know this is digging up an old thread but I just had my firebird out to these guys to correct the fuel curve and such. Everybody there is great and I had no problems with anything. To top it off I got about 15 hp and 15 tq to boot. I'd recommend West Bend Dyno to any local third gen needing a tune.
