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 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.

Re: West Bend Dyno tuning
I believe one of the Brians did the tune but I pretty much just talked to Brad. Matter of fact I might take my '77 out there and get the most out of it too. But I might want to wait cause they've been pretty busy lately.
