I used the Dyno Spot in Sunnyvale. It cost me about $90 for and hour on the dyno. (650) 988-6848

Also see our Dyno Day in August of 2000.

There is also ATP in fremont. www.atpturbo.com They have an in-ground dyno. Much easier to roll onto and setup time is pretty quick.

There is also Vishnu Tuning www.vishnutuning.com They are tad on the pricey side. They use a Dyno Dynamics Dyno.

I just got my car dyno done at Dyno Spot Racing in San Jose. It cost $80 and they gave me all the runs I wanted. www.dynospotracing.com

To compare a car HP to another one, is using a different brand useless?

When you say different brand, are you talking about the manufacturer of the dyno? If so, Dyno Dynamics Dyno's tend to give lower numbers. This is the only dyno that acutally puts a load on the rollers. Supposed they give more real world HP figures. I believe there are only 2 here in the US. They are widely used in Austrailia

Dynojet Dyno's tend to read higher than Dyno Dynamics Dyno's and are the brand that most shops have.

For me, I don't really care about what HP figures I get. I'm more concerned with the HP gains I get when tuning.
