Default Chicago Land Dyno Shop

Can anyone recommend a high performance engine shop with a dyno in the Chicago land metropolitan area? We have several long distance road trips planned this year and want dyno my engine to help ensure peak performace and a trouble free driving season. Plus I plan to smoke you guys at Byron.

Thanks,

Badman

Check some of your local schools to see if they have a chassis dyno. I know that the high school my two boys attend in Rockton has one.

I know of a couple of ricer shops that have one. But doubt they know anything about carbs. Cory from the defunct Dude's performance has a contact that he uses. And you still have StreetStuff right in Addison. Sorry I wan't more help. Jeff K. don't you know a guy you where planning on taking your cobra to get tuned?

Frank,

In all seriousness – do you think you might want to add a stop in Merrillville to our 100 day Snake & Eggs event?

Hey Frank why don't you give "Cooter" a call he has a garage down in Hazard county. He's really a good machanic, he keeps the General Lee in tip top shape. You may even run into my cousins, Beau and Luke Duke! If your real lucky you'll run into my cousin Daisy, she's a hottie and loves fast cars!

Your Cobra pal*****

Woifie,

I remember your cousin Daisy from twenty years ago. She was a fine looking gal and I loved the way she'd fill out her shorts and shirt when I was a teenage adolescent. But, as I said, that was twenty ago. She’s bulked up a mite over the years and looks like she’s been ridden hard and put a wet.

Speaking of Cooter, what kind of a mother would name their child Cooter??? Guess it’s all the family inbreeding and will pass on your suggestion.

Badman

I was also thinking about a dyno run in the spring. I decided to wait. I got my new ignition switch yesterday, so I think I might be firing on all four cylinders after I get that installed. We will have to wait for the spring to find out.

Does a five point harness make you go faster? Somebody told me it does so I bought one of those too.


Frank,

Keep taunting Arcy. I think he was starting to get scared.

I'm working on a mass dyno run thing in Merrilville, Indiana.
Dan Mroz, a Cobra owner and all around good guy is supposed to get back to me before the April 9th club meeting with a plan. I don't know how many cars he can do on a Saturday, but I'm sure after a trip down to visit him and getting a few cars done we could always return for more...so stand by...
