Anyone Do DYNO Tuning?

I was just wondering if anyone knows where i could get my car "dyno tuned" in the london to kitchener area.
I just dont have the time right now to tinker around trying to get the most out of my setup.

Does anyone actually do this around here?

Or am i better off just buying a g-tech and working at it that way

I went to the track and was quite dissapointed with my results when compared with others running the same setup. I know it still has some bugs to work out, but i figured i'd pull a little better time than a 14.3

Agostino used to use DynoPowerServices. Did they get their own dyno?

Dyno info.

A friend of mine rented the dyno at Sean Hyland Motorsports. His shop is just south of Woodstock. 401 & 59.
I know Sean is into Ford's,but he's a pretty good guy.It may be worth looking into.
Good luck.

Yes Agostino owns their own dyno now. I don't know the name of it but there is a dyno place in the Kitchener area.

Don't bother with the g-tech, save your money and go for a dyno session and a trip to the track. It's cheaper than the g-tech and more accurate.

Re: Anyone Do DYNO Tuning?

What do you have all done to your car? Most places won't work on these cars anymore as the technology is pretty old. You are probably best off to get the equipment to do it yourself. If you are afraid of the learning curve, order a mail order tune from a decent place that knows these cars and it should put you in the ball park. This is the route i took as I just wanted to get the car running as this summer was winding down and I just wanted to drive it vs tune it. I hardly get to drive the car as it is. I highly recommend a Moates Ostrich if you decide to get into doing it yourself. I have one on my car and have been able to fine tune the mail order bin.
