Who can dyno CL65 in so cal orange county?

I went to the dyno shop that I always go to. Wanted to get the base line number on a 06 CL65 before I send the ECU and TCU to Evotech. After spending 30min trying to strap the car, the shop gave up on finding a right place to strap the car. A long story short, I really want to get the base line numbers. I tried Evosport but it seems like they are always busy. Is there any one out there who can dyno CL65? Also wants to know is it not possible to get the wtq number on this car?

I thought your car was previously debadged. I thought you liked the element of surprise? I personally like the bades but why the change?

TMC M5: I know... I really didn't want the badges on the car but my wifey wanted one so that she doesn't have to answer to everyone asking what model is it? After all, it's her car so oh well...

I know of several shops here in the SFV and Ventura County that I've used before; Dynojet, DYNOmite, Dynopak and a Dyno Dynamics unit, whatever fits your needs. Some offer boost readings and some don't. In the OC area, I've tried OC Corvette (Dynojet) and WCC (Superflow Dyno). BTW, have you dyno'd your 08 Vette?

Let me know and I can shoot you a PM with their contact info.

C6 dynoed at 361whp on the dynojet. I guess it's not too bad for an A6 model/ BTW, love your sick looking TT C6!!!

Tired of trying to get the car dynoed. I guess either they are too busy or don't want to dyno the car? Anyways, I gave up!!! I'm sending the ecu/tcu out to evotech hoping for 60whp gain as they advertised.

I am sorry, you could not get your car in.

60HP should put you at 560RWHP.
