The two boxes you see IS the dyno. This is a DynaPack dyno (wheels come off and the machine is directly bolted on), not a DynoJet (wheels stay on and turn some rollers on the ground)

The jack is not in use while the car is being run on the dyno

+1 church's uses dynapacks....they are hp by the hub and not to the wheels, they generally read higher. i always thought dynos are mean for baselines anyway so it's a good start...now when you mod at least you know gains, if any...

any a/f readings?

As long as you use the same dyno for comparison and before/after testing....the absolute number is irrelevant.

The only way to know for certain, what this car would put down a Dyno Jet, or Dyno Dynamics, is to put it on one.


More people should dyno their G37's.....seems like only a handful have done this so far.

+1 you dyno at church's, you should keep going there for after mods and tuning as well...shawn is a great guy. he's got many years of tuning under his belt.

I'll be going there after my mods and for tuning. I agree that Shawn seems like a great guy

Also, his shop is conveniently located from my job/house too and that's a big plus for me

How much does a dyno test go for anyway and who does it(owner or shop person)? I would do it, but I am new to MT and just got my G37s 2 weeks ago. Therefore, my efficiency isn't that great for shifting aggressively. If a shop person is the one that does all the work and the price is in a good range I'll do it.

I have heard prices from $50 to $100. I believe the shop personnel does the test for you. You might be able to do it yourself but I am not sure.

Mine was $75 for 5 pulls.

I called one shop and they wanted $75 for 3 pulls....

Call around if you can not find a recommended shop...

It was worth it to me to get a baseline number before I start modding...
