They won't dyno my 2k2! Why? Coz it's FWD!?!?!

Called two Dyno facilities here in Houston, names to remain a secret to protect the innocent, to schedule a dyno run on the 2K2... guess what they told me:

"I'm sorry sir, but we don't do FWD cars. We only dyno RWD one's"

Don't you find this highly unusual? I do.

Hmmm...maybe they could turn your car around and run it in R?

Yeah! I hear "R"acing mode is best!

Will try calling another shop... hopefully they'd do it.

Try Carboy on Bissonnet. Their main focus is Honda/Acura and they do dyno's. If they give you that answer then they are just full of it.

I just called Carboy (I'm assuming that's the same one as carboyracing.com?) and they'd do it! I told them about what the other two shops said about the FWD/RWD and they laughed. I got a quote for $65 for 2 runs. Is that a good number?

I initially didn't want to go to them due to distance but if that price is good then i'll go ahead and schedule a dyno run.

Thanks!

I too am waiting to see the dyno runs, but will he get the most out of his car since it is new?

I contemplated on the same thing myself but since everyone seems to be curious about it i decided to do it.

Got 3200 miles on it to date. I know Max's are supposed to get stronger as the miles rack in but at least this'll give everyone an idea.
