Definetly a market for both of those IMO. There is only one local Dyno and they rates are not great to say the least.
Do we even have a NOS filling station around here??

Marken does fills

What is intersting is that all E-test places have a function in the computer that is a full dyno.

....but they don't like everyone knowing that it will actually do that

but, the emissions dyno only reads up to 150 whp so, unless you drive an escort its useless to you, I know evans has one (n2o filling station)
but who has a dyno around here?.. and I believe what your thinking of might be the "technician selected steady state" where you can load the dyno with different HP loads

Yah he deffinately should. If he's not going to be doing a lot of tuning then he should get a dynojet for just measurment reasons. These dyno's even though they are not as accurate for hp readings (usually read a lil higher) have become the standard for some reason. So some picky people actually want to see dynojet results when comparing dyno figures. If he is going to tune, then a dynapack or a mustang dyno is better. These are more accurate (usually read lower than dynojet, but are more accurate), but these can be adjusted for load. This is much better for tuning.

There is one in TO. I'm pretty sure. It's a shop that's known for their Honda tuning.

I need to get my VAFC tuned properly.. I'd rather get it done now rather than when I move back to T.O.

Thanks for the addy.. I just called them, but they don't have a wide band 02 sensor YET, and have no experience with tuning a VAFC.. off to T.O I guess..

Try Essential Speed in Cambridge i'm 110% they have wideband O2 sensor at the place where they dyno.
Ask for Kevin (the owner) and mention Vital Motion.
