Interest in AWD Dyno Day?
I will be having my brand new AWD Dyno installed in my shop (Pro-Motion Tuning, LLC) this coming week... Should be able to have it up and running 100% by Oct 20th. The dyno is a AWD Dynojet Inground. We are obviously able to run FWD and RWD cars on the dyno as well, I just posted AWD first because I know those guys get deprived sometimes...
Our Dyno also has an eddy current load controller to simulate the actual load (combined aerodynamic, rolling friction, and vehicle inertia [weight]) the vehicle experiences while driving on the street or racetrack. This allows for more accurate tuning under conditions that match the real world. Just lil FYI, this is a $15,000 option and not many shops, if any in this area have this.
My shop is located in Fredericksburg VA just 2-4 min off I-95 Exit 133. Shop is 3600 sq ft and we can have parts instock for you on your arrival if we don't currently have it instock already. We are alos still running our CF Hood special for all hoods that are instock. Trying to make it a family event, we do have a waiting room with a 42" Plasma tv, surround sound and playstation 2.. So if you wanna bring the kids, we can accomodate that as well. We want everyone to feel welcomed and comfortable in our new shop. Been building it for over 5 months!
Look forward to hearing if there is any interest in such an event. I will be posting this up to the Central VA guys as well since I am in the middle so to speak.
Thanks
James

Re: Interest in AWD Dyno Day?
Right now our lead mechanic is capable of All Honda jobs... however he will be taking alot of tuning classes to handle all the Dyno Operations and then we will be hiring another mechanic. We are looking to start off as your general shop for the beginning till we can get the crew trained on all aspects of tuning. I don't want to say we are strictly a Honda shop cause I personally have built cars such as a Mazda RX8, Mercury Cougar, Hyundai Tiburon and Scion tC. My lead sales rep is even part Mini-Trucker so we are open to all aspects of the scene, but don't want to focus solely on one car.
Our shop is also a Authorized NX Refill Station... I have over 500lbs of Nitrous instock right now. We have a digital bottle scale also with this station.
I am trying to be the most professional, elite, and customer savy shop in the DC metro Area. We are coming out the gate with all the hard hitting stuff, however we still have a lot of gaps to fill...

For the mitsu guys... I am local and available for hire to do Mitsubishi dyno tuning (assuming this is OK with James), if you bring your car in and buy the dyno time... If you need references or whatnot, or want to set something up, feel free to hit me up on AIM or through PM. I already have a couple cars lined up to tune on that dyno soon.
If you have a non-mitsu, we can talk about that too, though my specialty is mitsu.
note that at this time, this is a private hire thing, I am NOT a shop employee (unless james chooses to do it that way). just want to make sure there is no mis-understanding there.
FYI i have been to the shop and it is pretty nice, can't wait to see it finished

At this time the shop is coming along a lot faster... We have the office almost done, just waiting on grid wall and display cases... they started digging the pit today for the dyno so hopefully we can get it installed this weekend...
Dave... Hit me up, Wanna see bout getting your car over here on the dyno to test all the AWD Controls, if you are able.
