Default Dyno location

I received the "Throttle Body Spacer" I won from AFE (Thank you again), it will be installed tonight. The shop with the Dyno close to me went with another model which does not work well with Automatic. Anyone from MD have any idea where a shop with a Dyno to run an Auto is located?

The CAI and this Throttle Body Spacer were my initial bolt on Mods. I would like to see what kind of gain the promote. Thank you.

What kind of dyno doesn't work with automatic transmissions? They just need to put the car in manual paddle mode.

I guess it has a lot to do with the tq convertor not locking up 100% like a clutch does and it does not give an accurate result.
