Default Awd Dyno In Pinellas County.

Considering purchasing an awd drive dyno for my shop from the research i've done there's not any in pinellas.

What the demand?

How many of you that live in pinellas or surrounding area would much rather a local dyno as opposed to the tampa trek?

The Dyno has the capability of doing awd, fwd, rwd & motorcycles. It is linked roller dyno so no stress on the transfer Case & or speed sensor errors it also is load bearing for steady state tuning.


All feed back or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Justin.

It can be an investment; but remember we're in Florida; AWD/4x4 is not really as abundant.

I'd love to put my car on a dyno once to see what the actual numbers are; in regards to manufacturer reported specs and age degradation, but besides that I wouldn't use it much, maybe in the cars lifetime once or twice.

But if you don't have a dyno now; it could be a good decision because you can target the local market effectively by just being in the area, especially since it is FWD/RWD.

I would base the decision of the dyno on the amount of AWD business you have currently or plan on getting. In other words don't expect a lot of awd cars showing up just to dyno.

If you are going to get a dyno what make/model are you looking into getting?

Good point of view I'm slow, Which is true I do mostly rwd work, quite a bit of fwd, but rarely awd, my logic is that I can grow into it, I do not specialize in awd but i'm not limited to rwd/fwd.
