Default Dyno Facility In Northern Va?

Now that I have some break-in mileage on the new '10 I bought late last Aug, I would really like to dyno it before Winter sets in. Anyone know of a Corvette-knowledgeable dyno facility in Northern Va? For some reason, this '10 Z feels notably stronger than the '08 I had. Maybe my imagination, but would like to find out.

Also, for general estimating purposes, I have been guesstimating that there is an approximate 12% drivetrain loss for the Z06. I was told once that for autos, it is much higher, about 16%.

Thanks!

Thanks guys. Tony's is a little far from me since I live in PW County, Va. Is there a reason why someone thinks only Tony's can provide an honest reading? If it is a dynojet properly calibrated and I want SAE readings with appropriate smoothing factor, this should not be a problem. Also, hard to get time off, so hoping to do on a Saturday.
