if there's a dyno day coming up in the Baltimore area, please post details and count me in! (provided its reasonably priced)

My club often hosts dyno days at Pro-Motion in Fredericksburg, VA, an hour and a half or so from you, I'd imagine. $55 for 3 pulls, iirc.

Theres a racing shop just south of b-more right off 95 in Jessup that has a dyno. Its called TPC Racing. I have no idea what price is reasonable to you but they charge $200 for 3 runs. I've had my racebike dyno'ed several times for $35 bucks a run, so to me their price is outrageous. If you didnt want to wait for a dyno day I suggest you check them out because all they do specialize in is racing (mainly concentrate on porsches). The owner knows some shit about M3's too, he use to race them prior to switching over to Porsche. http://www.tpcracing.us/tpc_racing_services.html

Even tho the place I suggested is only 35minutes away, but your price is much more like it!! Nevermind my previous post.

I'd be interested as well, as long as it is a dynojet. NASA requirement.

I just talke to NGP in Aberdeen. They said it is $75 for 3 runs w/o AFR, and I think he said $95 w/AFR. He said if we can get at least 10 people he'd cut us some sort of a deal. Anyone interested?

Definitely interested. $95 is a little steep, and I'd really want the AFR to go with it, but if we can get it down to say $75 or so I'm in.

It's funny, I just posted looking for a dyno day over on Audiworld and they said NGP had one last weekend! Looks like we missed out. :(

That was my second choice. I just figured it would be easier for most folks to drive up 95. Either place is about the same distance from me.

How so? James is a stand up guy IMO. I've been going there with my brother since I was like 10 years old, never had a problem. He did 5 motor swaps for my brother and countless installs, dyno tuned 10+ times and never had a problem.



BTW, it's a Dynapack dyno.

Apparently he likes to tell people their transmissions are bad so he can keep them for himself. I found out I wasn't the only one too.:nono

Yeah, real stand up guy.:rolleyes

Oh, ask him how he likes my H23 tranny and that S2000 tranny. :laugh

I had a 95 Jetta GLX. I sold it to someone who eventually bought an M3 and ended up on this board after he totalled it.

Im in for A Dyno Day anywhere within 100 miles of DC. Im sure I can get at least 1 other to join me. $65 for three pulls with A/F sounds reasonable.

About a minute off of 40, on Perryman Road (I think that is the name).

Yep, from 95 you get off on rt 543 east (exit 80). Take this to rt 40 and turn right. Rt 40 north/east to right onto Spesutia Drive, then take it all the way to Perryman Rd and turn right. Follow the road (it makes a turn) for about 3/4 of a mile and NGP is on the right.

As before, I'm in if the price is $70 or less w/ AFR.
