I called and their dyno is in a area that will not hold crew cab trucks...I think majority have club cabs...But Neil gave me the the number of Dyno Motive...They recommended VEX in Red Deer which I thought was out of business...I guess they are still there but did some restructioning.

Vex tuning changed their name to Vex Performance.I talked to Ryan and he did the last two dynos for us when it was the old company..Same price thou...needs at least 10 trucks to dyno.I guess if we could more than 10 trucks we may be able to cut a deal...

Fidel is gone. He took his clothes and cried all the way home!!! Myron still runs it and they won't move on the pricing. I think the guys in Edmonton are a better deal. Vex seemed to stumble a bit and be very confused with the diesels.... It sure would be nice to find a similar dyno setup in Red Deer as AFI in Edmonton...

That was the talk for quite some time here in Red Deer that they went out of business. I think Fidel took some money and left if you know what I mean??

Thats too bad.. Fidel was a pretty smart dude, well at least as tuning and turbos go, we yakked for must have been 2 hours when we first met.
Business must not have been a strong suit..

I'd be up for that.. The chin wags we had at Rays a few years back were just as much fun.. We just need a shop..

just need to do a redneck dyno. Biggest patch laid wins, we can have stock, semi stock and modified class.
Problem is finding a spot to do it at.

Here is a question, how much do one of those portable dynos cost?

The smaller Mustangs can be had for around $20K, the DynoDynamics unit the Vex has is closer to $80K. I like that machine, if we could only get to use it on a regular basis...

I heard the dyno are about $30K...But thats what I heard and I could be wrong...Hey Lil"Dog....What happened to the other Kevin??Remember we had a GTG about two and a half years ago.Everyone was burning rubber in front of his shop...??And about 3 and half years ago we went to that small town that had a dyno???Thats where I meet Andy and yourself..The old members would remember this when we where only about 8 to 10 trucks...
