Scales and Dyno in DFW - recommendations?

Where's the go to place for dyno? I don't know much so a shop that has some rotary knowledge would be good. I'd like to find out what my numbers are and what can be improved. The previous owner had the motor built by RP and it's got 20 hrs on it maybe. I'm looking for someone different though. It's a 13b NA.


Where's the go to place to get corner weighted or at the minimum a very accurate total weight? I'm not looking for a truck stop scale.

Any recommendations? Thanks!

For Rotary stuff, John Garcia recommended Don Marvel at Marvelspeed to me, Don apparently used to be a rotary mechanic for Mazda - you might know John, he runs the 13b BMod Mazda car. There's also Gotham Racing. I don't know if either of them have scales though.

Thanks for the lead... I just tried the number from their website and it's disconnected - http://www.marvelspeed.com/ ?????

Gotham was a possibiliity but they are way on the other side of town.

Anything good or bad about going to Jotech?

That's the right site, but I don't know about the number. I called him once but it was probably a year ago. :P

Come talk to me about it, SCCAITS. I'm in Grand Prairie and I've got a place we go and do all of our dynoing. It's in Arlington.
