Kinetic Motorsports Dyno

http://www.kineticmotorsport.com/main.html

I was in a meeting this morning out in Port Kells and as I'm leaving, I saw the Kinetic sign on one of the buildings I passed. I checked it out and they seem like really knowledgeable guys that provide some desent customer service. I asked them about their dyno and related charges: $150/hr w/their in-house tunner at your disposal. This also includes 2 wide band O2's (good for v8 guys - one in each pipe) and I think their EGT sensor as well.

I plan on using them for tunning this spring and thought they would be good for a group session as well. They have an event (w/ BBQ) on Saturday for the local VW guys that I might check out.

PS= They had a REALLY cool TURBO charged quad in their show room that apparently puts out 70hp!!!

They're very well known and pretty knowledgeable too. I've gone to them for some turbo supplies + welding before and they've always done good jobs.

ive personally experienced kinetic, and i must give them a thumbs down. their dyno is pinner, above ground, and with a bit of hp the cars creep up like none other they have acutally launched some cars there before, not good. clearance issues on that thing are crap and theres not much ancoring the car down, too scary for me. and the guys there are tuned for imports, dont know much at all about domestics. ill stick with harvey also

I think its a SuperFlo dyno. Not sure how they compare to a Dynojet or Mustang, which are more common.

I'd be into checking the shop out, but after Jason's comments, I'm a little concerned about doing much there.

I like Harvey's set up, the only problem I have is that I don't know how accurate his LS1 readings are. Nevertheless, I want to dyno at Harvey's with my mods anyways to see what the change is on the same dyno. Its not easy/desirous to change dynos once you have basellines.
