Not personally. But pretty much they fire it up, break in any parts that need be and then start making pulls to get it dialed in. It all goes pretty quick really, assuming there are no unforeseen issues

I've only had head work over there but nothing but a good experience. Getting an engine dyno'd can't be all that cheap... What are the benefits?

As close to perfect base tune (EFI or Carbed) as you can get. Controlled conditions. As close to perfect numbers as you can get. No drivetrain to push around. |

You can also make your own stand and use your own stuff. Not that hard to make a engine cradle.

Was using used race valves springs. Bad Idea lost about 100 HP. Changed to a more street friendly cam 267-276 @ .050 with new street valve springs. 575hp -525tq

Why do said valves cause such a loss in horsepower?

Engine has to work harder to open the valves..also can cause the valves to slap shit too hard against the seats and crack the seats.. My brothers Harley had a big cam and cripple valve springs and a ton of top end noise when he bought it.. upon inspection found out the heavy valve springs were snapping the valves shut and if continued would've ruined the valves and seats.. put I lighter springs and fixed the problem..

Why do said valves cause such a loss in horsepower? It wasn't the valves it was the springs that were weak. Seat pressure was suppose to be 240 and it was about 180 YIKES LOL |
