Where would i look in the yellow pages to find somebody that does dyno tuning? I live in Nashville Tennessee. Does anybody know of a place in the middle tennessee area? Thanks.

 

I'm from no where around there, but just have some questions for you to ask yourself (as everyone should, if planning to go do "dyno tuning"):

1) What "tuning" do you want the dyno guys to do? Chip, fuel pressure, just advance the base timing? Will you do your own chips on the dyno?
2) Do you just want WOT power tuning done, or more of the part throttle, etc. Do you require the dyno to supply a wideband? Where will you put the wideband sensor?
3) What is your budget?
4) Is your car debugged, tested, and ready for a few hours at near full load? Any issues, misfires, anomolies? All basics covered - tire pressure/condition, oil level, coolant level/performance, whatever?
5) Can you afford to have something expensive break?
6) Will your heart be broken when you only get 2-250 hp?

I think it's totally worth it to do dyno tuning, as long as what you expect is possible, and that you don't waste expensive time on the dyno debugging a shoddy install. I work for a place that does public dyno stuff on the weekends, and these comments are for your benefit. As long as you have considered them and the consequences, GO FOR IT! This is in no way directed towards you specifically, just a general thing for anyone who's considering the same.

 

i put a hypertech chip in my car when i bought it. at that point it was completly stock. now i have done numerous upgrades and am looking into more upgrades and want to get the car tuned the way it needs to be. i am not looking for hugh power increases, just want my car to be at it best possible. Thanks.

 

I live in Mt. Juliet and I pass a shop that looks to have a dyno(sign over the bay door and I thought I saw it when I drove by). I can't think of the name of the shop but it's on Lebanon Rd. here in Mt. Juliet. I just moved here not to long ago so I'm not real sure where anything is. I'll try and get the name of the place next time I go by there, but if you find a place please post it I hope to be working on my car in the near future and I'll be interested in one too.

Later,
Mike

 

I am very familiar with lebenon rd in Mt. Juliet. I live in Hermitage. Could you tell me about where this shop is. I will go look and see if I can find it. Thanks. Chad.

 

Ok, let's see...As you come in from Hermitage down Lebanaon Rd towards Lebanon you pass Mt. Juliet Rd go 2 miles maybe. The shop is on the left there is a gas station right beside it and Silver Springs Baptist Church is real close to it on the right side of the road. Hope that helps alittle, I stink at directions.

Let me know what you find out.
Mike

 

I know its a ways away- but the college up here has one
Vincennes University is the name of it..

 

There is also a shop called A to Z performance in Chattanooga on Hixson Pike and also a shop in Cleveland TN but I am not sure of the name of it.
I am not sure how far you are from Chattanooga though.
