Dyno shops in Los Angeles area?

Hey to all my Cali TMS members,
you guys know of any good Dyno shops around the Los Angeles area?
or ones you have used recently and had a good experience?
and if you could share how many and how much was the pulls?

I heard of one out in Anaheim but didnt get the name.
Just looking to see where my stock numbers are at before I start adding some goodies

That and my brother has a 2006 GT fully upped and wants to know his current HP/TQ.

Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Heh Jed there is a similar thread about this. Here is the link.

https://themustangsource.com/f669/be...-socal-495810/

I know a few shops off hand.

Theres a local one here in Chatsworth, Muscle Motors. I've been there they had a lot of sweet cars but in a sketchy area though, but it's worth checking out to see if your comfortable.

I've heard great things about RET and RTR in Rancho.

Let me know on which on you choose I'd like to build a relationship with a good reputable shop myself.

Thanks for the links and info Josh
Yeah if your down, when my brother and I do go, you can come out as well if you haven't run your car on one as of yet.

yeah some parts of canoga can be straight ghetto, I used to work in woodland and west hills which is like next door to there.

Yeah ill give Muscle a call since they are so close and ask around about them too, if I pull the trigger on going there, ill let you know bro.

I think it's normally around a hundred bucks I usually try to make his dyno days when it's only about fifty for three runs . you might want to give them a call

Ya RET and GTR are the good ones I have been to. Id avoid Swanson Performance if I were you. He messed up my car twice. Doesnt mean he messes up every car but the fact is that there are better shops around so why risk going to Swanson.

Ya it turned out fine lol the first time he messed up was gears. Horrible whine so I took it back and he adjusted them. A little better but still not acceptable. I then had Chicane re-do them and they turned out perfectly quiet.

Second time was tuning. He quoted me $250 but luckily I had more. He locked up the ECU and the PATS system shut the car off completely. Had to have his employee take me home so I could get the second key to unlock the PATS. Then the grand total came out to $900 for a new ECU.

Just saying lol
