Default Commonwealth Kinetics Dyno

You know, the one in the Salem/Glenvar area. Their website is down. Are they still in business? And anybody know their rates?

Hey Mark, Its Nate from sales.... My buddy made 3 pulls with A/F for 75 If I remember correctly....That was last year though, and I havent heard anything about the place really since. I know they had a "dyno day" there last year that Roger and some people went to, but I havent heard anyone make a peep about that place in quite some time. I used to have their card with the phone # on it....I'll see if I can find it.

last I heard they had sold the dyno and were done with it. Might not hurt to double check though.

Thats the only thing I hate about this area, and partly te reason I sold my cars. It's pretty bad that the Roanoke/C-Burg/Salem and surrounding area doesn't have enough car enthusiasts to support ONE chassis dyno. Just Pitifull!

There is a mustang dyno in covington (probably don't know where it is but it's an hour from roanoke) called Troyer performance...mainly deals with Fords and its pretty expensive

That probably would be the best bet. Mark definately knows his stuff. Not a bad guy at all, just don't go down there acting like an idiot and blasting loud music in his parking lot. I watched him put a guy in his place when he was dyno'ing my old 96 Cobra. It was hillarious!
