Default Chassis dynos ... Maryland or close?

Anyone know of any good shops with a chassis dyno that can help set up the stroker that has just been built for my car? My home town is Hagerstown, Md. Problems with the Q Jet, mean that a shop carb was used for the dyno of the engine. I want the Q Jet set up on a dyno alongside a Holley (don't shoot me!) and do some comparision. The engine has a Holley street dominator. We can travel as far as Baltimore or anywhere within say 75 miles pretty easily.

Try Motorsports Performance in Frederick. They have a dyno. They're on Route 355 (Urbana Pike) in a business park behind the Buick and Hyundai dealerships across from Costco. Their phone is 301-662-8008.

It's been several years since I've been there but they have a full chassis dyno.

BTW - if you can, bring your car by the all-Corvette show in Frederick on Saturday...on Route 40 at the Westridge Shopping Center behind the Outback restaurant.

Hi c09,
The dyno 'room' at Tony's is worth the trip just to see it.
I had the good fortune to see and hear a new ZR-! on the machine.
What starts out as a daily driver ends up as a serious racecar. WOW!!!!
Regards,
Alan
