Default Who has an AWD dyno in or near San Antonio that can tune?

Just wondering if anyone near or in San Antonio area has an AWD dyno that can tune pretty good. I want to make a few additions to my Turbocharged Escalade and I will need a new tune for sure.

I have the same problem in Austin. NO ONE has an four-wheel dyno that I can get my supercharged escalade tuned on. I found one. But it wouldn't work with the escalade because the dyno did not recognize the 70/30 split in power that the escalde puts out. Keep that in mind. Some dynos only do a 50/50 split. I know Hennessey has one that will work for your escalade out in Sealy.

Cool, thanks....Yea I forgot about the 70/30. Its tuned and runs great now from Livernois but I am thinking of doing a cam for boost applications 60lb injectors to replace the 42's and adding a 2800-3000 stall with some tranny upgrades. I love the way the turbo spools right now so I don't want to go bigger and have to worry about lag.

Cory has one in New Braunfels. I believe it's the exact same one that John has in Sealy. Look up Henderson Performance Tech.

Are you the gentleman I spoke to on the phone when the truck was for sale last month? If so, glad you ended up getting it! I miss that truck...

It was fun as is, I can't imagine with a stall and a camshaft.

Here's my 12-second pass

Yes sir Rick and I tell everybody how good of a job you did. Everything was done right.

They had blown the components so I put all new upgraded Focal Mid and highs all four doors and it sounds awesome. Also I put a new Belltech set up on it because the old suspension was a little wore. As far as performance it still puts a smile on my face and it is fun as hell to drive. It doesn't ride like a 6000lb vehicle and the look on peoples face is priceless!

When adjusted correctly, you could turn the radio up nearly as loud as it would go and it was still crystal clear and would about shake your head off it hit so hard

It definitely doesn't drive like a 6,000 lb. vehicle. I have some great stories about that thing and some of the cars it beat up on
