here, I'll answer this post honestly.

You're considering a large investment, but just by having the dyno does not mean you'll have customers. I was the second in my area to have a dyno, the only one to advertise it, and it still was a flop for 2.5 years. You need to make sure there is a market for it first and foremost. Second, just having it and advertising it, along with a market, doesnt mean you know anything about tuning, and it means less that anyone will trust you to dyno their cars to learn on them. Finally, expect to spend about 38-45k for everything you need to get started.
I agree 100%...It's a big investment and if profit is on your mind it may not be the greatest investment. A local shop had similar experiences to this guy. They made some money at 1st, but then went through a long dry spell where nobody wanted/needed to dyno. Installation must have cost them a ton to I'm sure.

If you are serious about IM me with your phone #.

I have 2 dynojet chassis dynos which are 2nd hand but both are in perfect workign order.

Please get them out of my garage they are taking way too much space and I need more room for the kids.

we use a land and sea dyno. It is a double roller and seems like it has better traction then some of the single rollers. It also spins both ways so U can use it as a engine dyno for a honda as well.

Do you think my F18 hornet will put out some good #s on your dyno? let me know, I'll fly over to see what kind of HP I'm getting. lmao!
