Thread: Dyno & Scales?

  1. #1

    Default Dyno & Scales?

    Just for the hell of it... before Hallett...

    1) Dyno - I've seen threads about dyno days around here before, but nothing recently. I'm finally getting close to doing a couple of things to the car and I'd like to get a baseline number.

    2) Scales - I woudn't mind seeing what my car weighs. In the past I've gone to a Northern Van Lines place up in Addison and weighed in for $5, but I don't know how accurate that is, or if they're even still there.

    Any recommendations?

    Our local farm co-op scales rounds off to the nearest 20 lbs. They weigh my cars for free, but I don't get an official weight slip.

    I have had my car dyno'ed twice at ATS in Denton. ATSAaron is a member here.

    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    Yes, Alamo is in Arlington. Nathan is ray_sir_6 here on the boards. Their dyno is accurate and they always take care of the cars they dyno (and work on, for that matter).
