Best place in Houston area to get car dyno tuned?
I would like for my 89 IROC with a ZZ4 motor and P600B blower to be dyno tuned. Does anyone know of a place in the Houston area that does this?

still use stock ecm system or some other EFI system?
stock ecm systems would need an FMU to work properly. If you ran a 3 bar map sensor with stock electronics, you could try code $59 like I run. I could try playing with it but would need wideband o2 installed to be sure of air fuel.
If its an FMU car, you really just need to tune the motor all motor first, and then add the boost/FMU with timing control from a ignition box thats boost referenced.

Check with ARD ( http://www.advancedracingdynamics.com ).
They have a chassis dyno, and can do most GM tuning. My
brother-in-law had two pick-ups dyno tuned, and really liked the results.
I've had good luck with other kinds of work, but some board members
may have some contrary opinions.
Good luck

Yeah, sorry I've been busy and havent beable to get up your way. Perhaps later this week? I want to check that chip adapter and burn a basic bin file for a 350 with your injectors to see if it runs any better and see if I can datalog it. If that helps, then we can go from there.

Re: Best place in Houston area to get car dyno tuned?
hey orr if you want you can practice on mine which is right on beltway 8 and I 10.. I could use a quick look over the car too. Never hurts to have an extra set of eyes check her out to see if i missed something. Plus ever since you moved to Houston I've kinda wanted to meet you in person since we are in the same neck of the woods. I may have seen your ride before... doubt you've seen mine..
