Mass/NH DYNO shop?

[beantown mm]

Hi everyone, does anyone know of or used a good shop to dyno/tune our cars, I am in Boston...

I looked up Performance Dyno in Loudon NH, just wondering if anyone has used them or know of a better place to look into?

thanks all..

ProTree Performance in Hudson, NH. Dana is the owner and you can tell him I sent you (Bill Finley). Call ahead to set up an appt. though. He has a couple brothers drive from Canada to get their Vipers done by him.

Don't be afraid to ask questions and prices. I'll be honest, Dez may be more expensive, but, they're top notch. If you want to see what others think:

New England Dyno and Tuning in Douglas.

Had The Blackbird tuned there by Jerry Wroblewski (yes, of J-mod fame) when they were in Worcester.

HAHa I am in Winchester, you may see me going up and down Main Street sometimes.

Debating going for a Dyno Tune vs a well proven mail tune as my car is 100% Stock.

I would at least do a CAI before getting a custom tune. If you don't plan on doing much if anything for mods, canned tune (mail order) is fine.

Dez has had mixed reviews, personally I wouldn't let him touch my car.
Dana at Pro-Tree I have heard good things about, and Pete from Performance Dyno is who I'd go to.
Just my .02.

And I'm not getting into the Dez thing, do a search and come to your own conclusion(I personally know many who had really bad experiences).

[beantown mm]

Well, I made calls to Dez, NE Dyno and Pete at Perf Dyno over the last few weeks, and I just seemed to hit it off with Pete the best. I am more of an end user of the car than technical hands on like most of the guys on the site here, so I really rely on the guys that work on my car to get it right.

They wouldn't even let me talk to the guy that was going to tune it at Dez? so that ruled them out, I know he prob. would have done a good job, but man, can I at least talk to you?

Pete was really cool, said he would walk through what he does with me, come on up anytime, called me back right away and seemed very interested in the car so that is where I will be going. I will let you know how it goes...

BTW, the car is running fine on the tune that came with the Trilogy and the 2.5 midpipes I put on last year. But since I am putting on the JLT CAI, I think I have to re-tune it to get the best out of those 2 mods, am I right? and I hope I don't lose the smoothness of the shift points because it is running awesome right now.... If the tune gets F'd up just because I wanted to put the CAI on, I will be going over the Tobin!!!! know what I mean Bostonians......:beer:

[massacre]

^^^ Awesome.

Pete is a great guy, He tunes tons of local cars, including my buddy Jake's, who is the world's fastest stock longblock Terminator.

[Davesvt2000]

Pete's is also the "official" dyno shop for the NH Mustang club.

They have two dyno days each season there.

I've heard nothing but good about them.

If all you have changed is a CIA & larger mid pipe only no headers or shortys I would not think you need a new dyno providing size of MAF & IAT is located in your lower intake.
Maybe some one else can add to the census.

Good to hear, he said he will do a before and after of the CAI, so I will be confirming the 10-12 gain I hear about, I hope...

I was at 375 rwhp with base trilogy, looking to get over 400 with the Midpipes and JLT,, probably not, but we shall see what it does...

[burt ragio]

Adam it should be interesting comparison at same dyno log SAE or alternative same A/R same set timming.

For that to be accurate, dyno stock intake, then with CAI on. No spark, maf, fuel changes. I say this because most advertising says "Add an instant 12hp!". Then let him customize your tune and dyno again. Should be interesting.

That is the plan, but he did say if current tune was still good, he may not have to re-tune, does that sound like it's ok... thanks for all the input guys, I am learning,,, Slowly...... hahahaha
