Also there was a Dyno a few years back in Fargo.

i remember looking at the dynojet website and they had it listed that performance auto has a dyno. but no clue on what kind or if they even have it.

the one in northwood is mikes custom trucks. he has it to prov what the stuff does...... he doesnt do tunign or anything like that. from what i have heard he also trys to sell stuff you dont need.

ill probably go up there for some dyno runs when i finish the motor and turbo stuff on my car unless there is somewhere else.

[karter_2_22]

when is the dyno in bis. avail. for use

Performance Auto had one years ago and then new management sort of screwed that over and I dont live there anymore so I could not tell you.

But in bismarck, the guys are still working the bugs out from what I've heard, so I will post up some more info, like a phone number, once I get a day off or some damn time to get this info.

Quit. BTP is not closing, unless they are closing and the owners (whom I speak with quite frequently) don't know about it. Maybe you know more than me about this issue, but I would also assume you know more about it than anyone inside the company.
ANYWAY, it sounds like they purchased a mustang dyno, which are good pieces, but require a very skilled and knowledgable operator. I have heard that their dyno also reads high, which makes me assume it is calibrated to dynojet #'s- mustang changed and gives its customer the option to have it calibrated either way when they deliver it, because they had gotten a bad rap for being too low. Now they read too high. What do you do???
BTW- Watertown is only 142 miles south of fargo for those needing EXPERIENCED tuning, bismarck is 225. We'll be up in fargo again this spring, more than likely within the next 2 months.

Not to be a dick but how would one become experienced in the art of tuning if there are no cars to tune because you flame a thread and give the wrong impression about a new shop that just opened its doors.

[dynotune]

I am not trying to be a dick, so please don't take it as that. I said nothing bad about the new shop and have absolutely no claims as to whether they are knowledgable or not. I do know firsthand the equipment they are dealing with and have used them before, as well as others. I was commenting about the dyno (and said nothing bad). Other than that, I was just stating that we are just down the road. Go for it, give them a try. The best way to find out if they are good tuners is to give them a whirl. If no one had given me a chance, I would have been belly up some time ago. I just wanted to make a point and say don't forget about little 'ole me who comes to YOU with the service at times, so you don't have to spend 450 miles driving just to get some HP #'s, that's all.
thanks

QUIT??????

ok then.

About BTP my roomate spoke with John the owner "whom I speak with quite frequently" they are selling it to one of the current mechanics, so technically they are not closing. The current owners are leaving to venture on building race cars.
