Any dyno shops in SA or Austin that know anything about 951's?? I just wanted to get a baseline run done and then get russell to remap my chip for me(or maybe use maxtune)

looks like Im running rich right now so Im guessing I would see a significant gain with some tuning. What do you guys think??

 

Call Duffin Engine Service and ask Russell if he knows of any. There was one in Corpus but he sold it about a year and half ago.

 

Duffin Engine Service... why does that name sound familiar??

Is that the machine shop over by the BMW dealership? If so, they resurfaced my flywheel for me awhile back. Excellent work.

 

Not sure but they're the machine shop that has done all of our engines - bore and finish - they do excellent Alusil work. We've used them a total of 7 times for blocks; ours and friends that we've helped, OZ951 was the first who reported using them several years ago.

 

ya I had a bmw before my caddy and there the only company I could find to resurface my flywheel... and on top of that they have good prices.

Anyways he did get to talking about 944's after I told him what it came off of... I will give them a call and see if they know.

 

Here's a couple:

Lethal Performance

Henderson Performance

Lethal Performance is in San Antonio outside 1604 on Nacogdoches and HPT is located in New Braunfels, but it's only about a 20 minute drive. I've dyno'd at both places and have not had any problems. Personally I prefer HPT as they seem to be a bit cheaper for dyno runs plus they seem a bit more professional, though I didn't really have any problems or bad experience at Lethal Performance either.

 

Thx... you still have your 944 or did you end up getting rid of it?

 

Mike Murillo Motorsports were north East of SA, outside the 1604. They are a Mustang shop but ran a much more professional shop than some in San Antonio. I generally dyno'd my car there. I just had a look at their web and they appear to have moved to a new location so I can't vouch for that. They used to share the previous shop with a pretty talented welder as well.

 

How the heck are you OZ?

 

Nope, unfortunately I just sold it to a friend so I can focus on my 911. I miss the car already but, maybe in a year or 2 I'll buy another 951 as they are a lot of fun.

 

alot of fun as in take a gun and shoot yourself in the head?? lol j/p Im thinkin about taking my car to the track but still contemplating it. Let me know when your in the area. I got a new house up in converse and plan to buy a lift sometime soon.

 

Sweet! Hydraulic lifts make stuff so much more fun. They aren't too expensive either. My manager used to have one and he found it practically new for just ~$2-2.5k I believe (2 post).

 

G'day Ski, it's all good down this way. I was thinking of you the other day while we were patrolling around and dodging rigs in our P-3.

I'm glad to see that you have had such good service from Duffin.

Cheers
