Default Dyno recommendations - virginia

I'm in Southeast Virginia - anyone got a good dyno recommendation for carbed 502's with weiand 177's?

I feel like I owe it to myself to spend a little money getting then dynoed.

Also - can anyone give me an expectation on costs?

I know Jeff Riddle builds some engines.....does he have a dyno? (Va Beach/Pungo area)


It's been awhile but I shipped one of the engines for my 382 to Mark Boos at Precision Marine in Louisiana. He tuned it then mapped the other computer to match and shipped it all back. Don't remember what I paid.

Is that who did yours Rob?

I was going to just rip them out and put them on a flatbed trailer I have so I can certainly run them to MD weather permitting - would hate it to be raining!!

No clue who does what in Virginia but after doing both, if I had my choice between a propshaft dyno and an engine dyno I'll go w/the propshaft dyno every time.

The wall even if its wet(most are dry exhaust) , can't help you figure out what happens when put it in gear in at idle with the prop in the water,so you typically get a better tune with a propshaft rig.

I don't care much what what the wall says it does Im much more interested in what I get at the prop running through the exhaust thats actually on the boat and moving water.

Just me though.


Let us live it with you, keep us up to date!
