New Dyno facility

Just FYI,
I know everyone is pretty loyal to Dean at NED (for good reason I might add) but it's an hour and a half drive for me which isn't very convenient. East Side Performance and Dyno just opened up in Wallingford, CT. I haven't been yet nor know the owners, just thought you'd like to know. Anyone been yet? Good/Bad?

$90 for 2 runs and $20 for A/F??? I'll stick to dyno days at NEDT where it's $75 for as many runs as you like an A/F....better then $110.

I had my car done there this Summer. They were having a club (CTFBA) day for us. It was $75.00 for 3 runs. I only took 2 as I wanted to see if I gained the claimed 14 HP from Corsa. First pull was 14 more then my last dyno a year ago (before the Corsa install) and the second pull was 21 more HP. I was happy with that so I stopped. Ended up with 331 RWHP. Not bad for only a few mods. I even brought my famous Taco Salad that was a big hit there. One day I'll make a dyno day at Dean's to watch. Maybe I'll even bring my Famous Taco Salad as well.

I've heard nothing but good things about EastSide,expecially Kevins LS1 Edit tuning is second to none.
This board is a very loyal following to NEDT.Dean is a great guy.I personnally go to another dyno since it's closer and I get a much better deal.

yeah, ive heard good things about that place, but as mentioned, this is a dean-loyal board, lol.

slowhawk-where do you go that can beat $65 for what seems to be as many pulls as you want and an extra $10 for a/f? at the last dyno day there was someone that made more than 10 pulls and it only cost him $75 (had a/f). most only make a handful, but dean is great when it comes to helping people out!

bluebyyou-dyno day is around the corner-march 22nd, hope to see you there!

I ussualy go to Dez Racing in RI,He is located closer to me.Dyno days are good to meet people and do some runs,but I'm ussualy tuning the cars which I like time.I dyno on weekdays so there is no rush.
I do not know Dez's rates so don't quote me.As for helping out I've had good experience with both Dean and Dez,so I say neither is better than the other.

You do know it costs $13000 for a LS1 Edit universal tuner So do you blame them for not having it I'm guessing you really had nothing to do except run the car(no tuning ie:MAFT)so you don't need more than 2 runs I've been there and ran over 20 times while tuning.(4 hours)And no one could of beat the price I paid

I don't expect Mike to have any LT1/LS1 software seeing how he is tried and true BLUE OVAL guy!!!He did say my A/F was way to high 13-1.So I need a laptop to log some data and send to Brian@pcmforless!!

Closest? ACS in Hanover,but I would never go there.
NEDT Worcester is about 1 1/2- 2 hours away.
Dez Racing RI is about 1 - 1 1/2 hours away.
