Also we needed that 4th run because someone wasn't watching the boost on the 2nd run.....

Is the dyno business profitable?

Steve, I would say that if it was your only business, no. If done in conjunction with repairs, yes.

Check out, Dynapack. it's portable and a 400 whp is 48,500, 800 whp 60,000. i believe that the others have a lot of hidden cost, like extras that you really need and shipping. I think these prices include shipping

I have this lust to start up another business. Something related to cars, but on the sexy side. Like tuning, or a dyno shop. A nice clean place with great food, a gallery of hot rides and automobilia, maybe girls in bikinis, so that group days can be hosted and the place could become a destination. Maybe have the girls wash the cars, while a group is waiting. I'd go there!

Not large enough for dyno pulls. Only designed for smog usually 25-55 MPH no more. That machine looks used up, BAD, as well.

First off this post was more of a "I am intrested because no one puts prices on there websites" and fully knowing that it will 99.99999% never happen was kinda implied before I posted this thread.


My car maybe a S2, However I will need lots of tuneing when the money starts to flow alittle better. My car isnt going to stay N/A for long (4 months MAX) and it will be on the bottle (50-75 shot of Zex wetkit with purge and bottlewarmer.) <---Researched alot and I know its a money pit for most people but I can get bottle refills for $10 per 10lbs bottle... Then it will be time for a supercharger in 2-3 years

So inshort, I will need to do alot of tuneing.
