Guys,

I have used Pro-Dyno in Tempe as well as Chucks's Speed Center in North Downtown. Either had what I needed.

The dyno days are usually for bragging rights, which is fine. Often there is little time or more importantly, expert guidance and support in changing your setup between runs, since the dyno operator is running the dyno on another car and not tuning yours...

If you are an experienced tuner and just want the AF numbers like Karlos said, a group venue can work, and you can tune your own ride in between pulls, if they will take you off the rack in between pulls (sometimes, they just want to make three pulls without unchaining your car and so you never get to make a change and see the results, but at least you know which way to go for your first change). Just make sure you have the appropriate sets of jets, power valves, squirters, and pumps, as well as your timing light and the tools handy. Several folks fit into this category.

If you're looking for expert tuning service, I'd schedule a solo appointment so you have the full attention of the tuner. This will cost real money, but can yield real results.

BTW, my BBC ate the cam earlier this year and I won't have the new 540 until winter. This has left me without much engine fun, so I'd be happy to come out and help... I'll stay tuned (no pun intended).

And... Karlos, you do have gobs of power. Ya just don't run 10s without it!
