Dyno in Jackonville, Fl?

madmanhiker · 08-17-2011, 12:23 PM

Like the title says... I've been MPG Auto Performance (which has a Dyno) in Atlantic Beach... but their shop was not ventilated and their fan pumped out equivalent to a 35 mph Sunday drive.

I need a good dyno with the proper setup - anyone know of any other dyno's in the greater Jacksonville area - besides MPG Auto Performance?

Thanks in advance!

What's been going on man? Missed you at Cars and Coffee last Saturday. Had a pretty good turn out.

I've been told from a friend at work that EFI Alchemy in Green Cove Springs was pretty good. They have a nice shop and work mostly on GM but could do anything.

Also had a guy I killed in his GTO and moddified firechicken recommend HP Performance in Orange Park. He's looking to turbo the firebird and give it a go again...whoop...whoop...lol

Let me know if you want to go this week. I may go with you. Parents are down from Tenneessee so I'm off the rest of the week.

Hey man... just been busy... also have a bad back... it's killin me.
I contacted HP Performance in OP as well... the guys name is Tony... not sure about his setup either. What I do know is that I'd like a dyno shop that is NOT an oven and that has sufficient fans (especially since my tune rolls back power under heat soak conditions) lol.

EFI Alchemy - not sure of either - but GCS is not that far from me... OP is a haul. What do you know abt EFI?

*oh... forgot to add.. I killed a Challenger SRT8... he came back for seconds to make sure. funny, the look on his face in the rear-view mirror was priceless.

e90TiAg335i · 08-18-2011, 01:40 PM

Hahaha... I bet he was like WTF????? EFI has a website and their shop looks pretty clean. Friend at work says they do great work and has a MUCH better fan setup than where we were. I think EFI charges 75 for 3 pulls though.

Ok... yep I found the website, and their shop is right across from the Shands Pier where I go shrimping (on the St. Johns side). For me... the EFI shop is very convenient. They say Sat-Sun is by appt only.... I may give them a call. And 75 for 3 pulls is the same cost that we got at MPG....

Nope, I haven't. I'm using JB4 as well as most here in Jax are... That I know of anyway.

New to this site as well, just picked up at 6MT 335i Coupe. timt976 - Curious how the tune with Steve Mason went? He tuned my turbo honda back when he was still a student at UofF. What kind of numbers did you end up with?

e90TiAg335i · 10-01-2011, 06:23 PM

Never hot a chance to stop by yet. I should be on the 400-430HP range with fbo and meth.

I hear he is popular with the honda crowd and also travels the world tuning cars.. I worked with a guy that seemed to have known him fairly well..

MASE is located right down the street from me, and I am ready for a dyno as well. I may check out their setup this weekend - I know their dyno is an AWD dyno - no sure how that works... I suppose they can lock the fwd roller for rear wheel drive.

I'd go with you but I'll be leaving for Orlando Sunday. I'll be back Wednesday and on vacation the rest of the week if you want to wait and stop by then.

timt976 · 10-06-2011, 10:27 PM

Let me know when you guys want to stop by his shop. I know he just picked up 335i convertible.

timt976 · 11-19-2011, 01:00 PM

Anyone still want to have a dyno day?

e90TiAg335i · 11-19-2011, 09:13 PM

Yep, just a matter of getting everyone together at the same time. Has been pretty difficult last couple of months...

Let's put a date out there so that way people have something to work with.

timt976 · 11-29-2011, 10:27 PM

So can someone set up a date? I need to have him tune my car some more. Right now the weather is cool too.

timt976 · 12-24-2011, 09:53 PM

We sorta had a dyno day this week on Tuesday.
