I have never had a car dyno'ed before but I would like to see how much hp my new 2013 GT with Gt500 mufflers is putting out. Next year I plan to put a tune in and I would like a baseline.

Romar in Walden, NY, has a dyno and charges $150/hour. They are the closest to me. Anyone use their services? are they any good?

$150 an hour sounds like tuning chargers, I wouldn't pay more than $25-50 to just do a dyno run for whp numbers.

Also for baseline numbers its best do it the same day, run a baseline, load the tune, run again. That way different conditions don't throw it off.

quick guess on a dynojet you'd see 360-370whp SAE corrected.

Well, now I need to go back and see what the $150/hour is for. I sure don't want them to tune it. I was planning to use Steeda later for a tune. I wouldn't feel confident that some local guy could tune better than a company like Steeda. Just too much to risk if something goes wrong.

I feel the same way about tuning. They'd have to have a lot of experience with multiple 5.0's before I'd trust them.

My lower price figure may be for Dyno day deals, where they get a bunch of people to go in and just run tests all day. So maybe ask them if they have something like that coming up.

I know this is an old thread. But, are there any places around the ny area that know our platform well to perform performance work? The only place im aware of is JDM eng thats within an hour or so from me.
