Opinions needed !!!

Hey guys, Im looking at opening up my shop again. When I open it up Im also looking at buying a (100,000) infloor dyno. Im thinking on weekands that I would have a test and tune day or something along those lines say $100 for 6 pass's on the dyno. Would anyone be interested?

Post replys here.

Shops are doing $45 for 3, and usually theyre hurting for money you can get an hour out of them for that much.
Im not sure a Dyno is a good investment anymore. Sure you can tune cars etc, but you wont be the"only guy" with one, people will have tons of alternative shops to goto that have been in business longer.

Also, promote online. Hook up with tons of clubs, give them discounts etc.
Goto the meets, CSCS events and OSCA and promote your shop.

Good luck with whatever you decide.

it out like mad.

Tell everyone.

Maybe even have draws like give away a Tachometer but the only way to enter is if you do a dyno pull and have the draws 3 months apart.
