Does anyone know of a shop close To Louisiana, somewhere in the South that can dyno tune a Dodge Truck? So far the only one I can find is in Michigan with Dave at BG Chrysler. Way tooooooo far for me. So can sopme give me some info. So far I have nooooooo luck. Everyone I call to get a custom chip for a Supercharged magnum says it has to be put on a dyno. So can someone help me out here. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

There is www.speedtweaks.net in texas and www.krcperformance.com in florida and if that is too far I would try the yellow pages. Most of the places that do chips have you send the computer to them and then they send it back in a couple days. I think krc uses superchip with good results.

There is a dynojet right down the road from me in Winter Park, FL. Does Marty at KRC have a dyno? His shop looked a bit on the small side to have one, but it would be really cool if he had one and i'm sure he knows where one is. For some reason I want to say that you could find who had a dyno on the dyno jet site. Might be somewhere to start digging.

I can do it dude. I brought to the track and had some major pcm problems. I didn't stall it up and had terrible traction problems. I ran a 13.72 @ 112.39 mph. I blew the intake gasket on that run. Everything I have came from Marty with the Exception of my heads and cam. The R/T heads weren't out and either was the M-1 2 barrel. I have a ported beer Keg and Magnum heads. The cam is a cstom grind from Crower for superchargers. I have the Precision Industries Viper stall converter. If I would have stall it up and had some slicks, I would have seen the real numbers it can make. I'll keep you posted on what it does. As far as searching the web. I found numerious dyno shops, but none having the software to tune them.

Wow ! 112 mph in the 1/4 ? Thats about low 12s (viper territory) I bet you got about 420 RWHP. Thats my guess. I`m in envy. The 13.72 dont mean anything. Its the mph. Get some slicks damnit LOL !

What you mean by PCM problems ?

thnx

I'm using the Mopar pcm. The map sensor is freaking out big time with the boost. For instance on that run. I sat at the light, didn't stall it up. when the light hit green. i punched it and the truck just sat there. all the sudden it creeped forward and stopped. then is took off like a bat out of hell. It didn't want to shift into second on that run either. I tried every little trick there is. The only way to get it right is to dyno tune it. Dave at BG can do it. It's just 2000 miles away from me. If I'm going to go that far, I'll wait till I put my 390 kit in it.

Yup, I called them. I can dyno it, but can't tune it. So that's the main reason I'm on here looking for help. I usually go to Ms. Goldies over in Baton Rouge from time to time. Maybe we can meet up there.

Check out the dodgetrucks.org website under the southeast section. A lot of guys are driving rams. Does anyone still race at Goldies. I thought the cops had put a stop to that.

If you can make the trip then take it to Speedtweaks and have Bernd set you up at one of the local dyno shops. With all the work he's done on the turbos he's very knowedgable about forced inducted magnums
