Default New AWD DynoJet in Reading PA.

One of my friends opened his shop up. Its hott. He has alot of nice *** new equip. He wll basically do everything people need done.
Its a 6bay shop with 3 offices and balancing room.
He has a sick inground alignment machine that can get cars as low as 1.5inches from the ground on them
state of the art tire mounting and balancing machines.
3 lifts
best of all an inground AWD dynojet.

his rates will be awesome and he is a great guy to deal with.Ive known him for years.

Here is some pics of the shop not finished yet.but well on its way







heres a shot of the aligment machine.he's getting new cornerweight scales very soon too



heres the tire and wheel mounting machines and balancers







shameless plug

Holy ish. That's fscking $$$ right there. All they need it a good tuner that's familiar with different motors and systems.

Well i worked a deal out with him if BoostedHybrid is interested in doing his tuning on that dyno. But the owner is going to work on getting more acclimated with standalone tuning and such as time goes on.


Yes he has alot of money sunk in that place. the one tool box is 6ft high and 9ft long. thats only one of the boxes. he has like 4 big *** rollaways.

Hey, that's not **** Kozloff by chance? I've known him for like 10 years. I use to hang out with him back in high school, when he had that audi coupe. He is a cool guy. Maybe I can get a hookup from an old friend.

I don't know about up there but there are quite a few modded AWD cars down here. We have one AWD dyno but it costs quite a bit for a couple pulls.

im PMed you with some info Dan.
His rates are $100 an hour for dyno time, but he's really lenient with what the hour includes. He's cool, he understands whats its like to be in the other persons position..Plus he is cool with people spectating and taping and such as long as they arent like in the engine bay. He also said if we know what we are doing on the Dyno he will let us be and work on whatever else he has in the shop. which is better for him.

the guys at Xotic have been giving us **** from day one. If anyone needs tuning go thru Boosted-Hybrid to do the tuning and he will prob start using this dyno. If we can get a couple cars at a shot or if he is tuning down there the rates will go down a little.


as far as price i think he said somethnig like $75k for the dyno. This guy has close to a $$$MILL in this shop. you gotta see the **** i didnt get pics of. and the construction he did to the building.


im going down at 6pm tonight to see some 427 blown Shelby Cobras and Ferarris on his dyno tonight. should be dope

One time on quickda6's old beater we went down for a couple pulls. They didnt strap the car down properly and the steering went full tilt to the right at about 6500 rpms. They tell you to never hold on to the steering wheel while making a pull, which is just BS. Made a nasty sound and luckily nothing was damaged and nobody got hurt. But after that they were like, "uhh there something wrong with your car, you cant make anymore pulls until you get it fixed". Yeah bullshit. The car has never had problem, it goes straight down the 1320 at over 105 and doesnt pull to the side on the hwy or anything.....they are just idiots and dont even know how to tie the car down. Good thing it wasnt a 400+ whp car or anything, it was just a 250ish whp LS......something bad could have really happened if it was a crazier setup.
