    I have a Bae with roots blower that is an unhappy engine. I need to take it to a dyno shop that understands fuel systems and make some pulls on this engine and make it happy.

    Any body in the central U.S. KS,OK,TX you guys would recommend???

    Thanks
    Randy

    If you have decent parts and it is put together right, you really need fuel system and tuneup advice. This would have to be done before dyno testing anyway.

    dyno

    There's a nice big capacity dyno in Wichita Ks. You need to have your own tuneup plan.
    Tracy Pedigo owns it.

    Fred Mandolini

    Fred will get my vote. Hes in the Chicago area. If you decide to go with Fred, go PREPARED. know your engine specs and bring spares. The man knows his stuff. I have had an engine on his dyno and was very satisfied with the results. Kevin Newburgh

    When ya go to Freds (my recommendation) leave your attitude and ego at home. Not enough room in the shop for 2-of them;) He will tell you like it is!

    Dennis Piranio In Denton Texas

    Dennis is a master on fuel systems and dyno work. He has been building alky engines and doing fuel systems for years. He does all my stuff and it is spot on out of the box. One of his motors just set a land speed record at Bonneville and he is currently working on motors to set the land speed record for piston driven. (over 400 mph!!) He is crew chief for Burl Brown Div 4 TAFC racer and does a lot of tractor pull stuff as well. He is very anal and detailed.And no ego to deal with, super nice guy.

    I meant to list Dennis also, http://www.jdfperformance.com/ used to work for him.
    Does Dennis have his own dyno?
