Anyone have any recommendations for a good, professional dyno shop in the local area? 

A friend has used Trickpro motorsports and I think they charged him about a buck fifty for 3-5 pulls (they pulled until the engine got heat soaked).  He said they use a Superflow dyno and gave him several different readouts to compensate for DA and such.  

Want to get a baseline before messing with the engine.

I had a heavily modified FRS a little while ago. Seems like all the shops I found were in O-ville.

I think there is/was one on Tomahawk in IHB. There was one on Hibiscus in Melbourne a long time ago, and I think there's at least one off Ellis Road in Melbourne. I've forgotten all the names, but I'll look and ask around.

If you're building an engine that will pull a foil through a wave pool, I'll look a little harder!

Ha! Like the way you think, but no...looking for a good chassis dyno shop. Would rather stay local, but it is looking like the better choices are in O-town.

No intentions to harm any wave pools, this time.

Yeah, Beachside Auto Repair has (or at least had) one. I used it a few years ago before tuning my car. Trickpro WAS over there on Ellis, but they moved their shop to out to Martin Rd near Babcock in Palm Bay.

Dave, did you ever use TrickPro?  If so what did you think of their service?

I used to have Trickpro mount tires for me shipped from Tire Rack. I think the guy is TJ, he was an enthusiast and I was very happy with his work.

He's the first tire guy I ever recall using anti-seize on the lug nuts and noting the torque he tightened them to. He seemed to take things seriously.

I went as part of a Porsche Club of America event where a bunch of folks got their cars dynoed, so I didn't have a "normal" customer experience there. But they definitely seemed to know what they were doing. They read my graph and noticed a flat spot where there shouldn't be one. Sure enough, I needed a new Mass Airflow Sensor. I wouldn't have known a few horses were hiding without the dyno.

Dave, Thanks.  I heard they do dyno-days for clubs or groups. 

I don't mind paying, and actually I want to use a shop that is local as if I do some modifications I want to re-dyno on the same machine.    I could do the drive to O-town, but would rather not. 

I keep looking at the Whipple's....

The one on Hibiscus is now GT auto repair, and I don't see a dyno on their list of services. Thinking back, I don't think they ever did.

A Corvette forum turned up http://www.hartlineperformance.com/contact.html, but it looks more like a parts place. You could call and ask about dyno.

Rank Performance, just off Ellis Rd in Melb, lists a machine shop and dyno on their page: https://rankhighperformance.com/
