Dyno in S CA

Just wondering where to dyno my car in S Ca(Santa Monica). I know evosport in huntington beach is always an option but it's 40 miles away from me and they do dyno around 4pm. traffic in LA can be a real B**** at 4pm. Anyone know a good dyno shop near west LA?

You can also try Arling @ Lucent Motors. They're closer.

Lucent did my K2 and I don't think they have a dyno. I will talk to arling to see if he can recommend a shop. EVO told me $150 to run the dyno.

Andy,

Just curious when Lucent did your K2 did they do a baseline dyno and after dyno? How much do you think you are putting down on K2?

When Lucent did my K2, i asked arling and cory(kleemann) if baseline dyno was necessary. They both said it's not necessary. I have to say that I'm already a satisfied customer jsut from butt dyno alone.

Kind of odd that they would say that it's not necessary for a baseline dyno. I'm glad you're a satisfied customer. But what is the butt dyno? What's the numbers? Or you can PM me.

Arling told me that they did so many AMG 55 vehicles and never had a unsatsfied customer and I think that's why he didn't think it was necessary to do a baseline dyno. Well butt dyno is jsut my subjective measurement sitting my butt in the driver seat and punching the throttle. lol. I'm still trying to arrange for a real dyno testing but I just don't want to spend 90min sitting in LA traffic jsut to get to a dyno shop.

I would like to say 600 at crank as Kleemann advertised on their website but I know that would most likely be overly optimistic.
