Question Dyno My Car?

Where does one do that exactly? I have never dyno'd a car before. Is there a special shop for that? Anyone recommend one in the East Bay, CA?
Thank you.

Thank you.
Google a good dyno shop near you and make sure you do a baseline pull (stock pull) so you can check the power gains.

Dyno with no baseline is a waste of time and money

Thanks, yeah I googled a lot but I got a lot of posts from 2003 and shops that no longer existed out here ha. There are a few but reviews are 50-50. I probably should have worded my initial thread question as looking for a reputable dyno shop. lol

Peeps like FFtech and I chatted with them on FB briefly, so seem cool.

Thanks for mentioning the stock pull, didn't even occur to me. Though I can't really remove the MPPK and MPE... I can I guess remove the AFE Momentum intake..?

Do you plan on doing any other mods in the future?

Yessir. Hope to do intercooler/CP/DP at some point.
As well as some kind of tune that will work with MPPK if I can figure out what ha.

Do a dyno with your current mods and once you add the other parts and a better tune in the future you can do another dyno and check how much you gained

thatryan hopefully its a Dynojet when you go in dyno your car in 4th and 5th gear so you can have baseline of both, make sure to bring a usb and get your DRF Files for future or get Graphs in Uncorrected correction and SMoothing 5 also STD correction those 2 are the most important and commonly used.

Dont worry about the peak numbers its all about seeing the power curve your car is making.

Its not bad but you should try to go to a Dynojet place if you want to keep things more simple and comparable.
