Dyno test in Minneapolis

So I'm hopefully gonna do a gen3 engine swap this summer. I would like to get a dyno test done before hand so I can see the gains. Does anyone know of a place to get this done in Minneapolis/Metro Area?

I'm not sure, I'd give Ron a call to see if he's done anything w/ toyota's (other than Supra's).

I know Ron at RS has done some MKII & Gen II / Gen III stuff before. I've seen a couple of different 2's in his shop for swaps. He's worked with the Nemesis ECU as well.

His dyno is a Mustang so you won't impress anyone with the numbers (some of the Honda guys call it the heartbreaker) but it's fantastic for actually tuning a car on. I've tuned my car on his dyno and been able to take it straight to the race track without needing any adjustments. Long ago I did 310 on an AWD Dynojet in Chicago and then turned around with exactly the same set-up and did 270 on Ron's dyno. My Evo was pretty mildly modified at the time.

Yeah I just want to see exactly what it has after these years. Also how much after the swap. I'm not trying to impress anyone. It's for me.

MAP specializes in DSM's but I heard that they fully built a 3s motor...my boy brought his 5sfte celi there and they tuned it...well tried until he found out some bad news with his #2 cylinder.

I recommend them, they are decently priced too.

We've got a relationship with Ron at RS, we've known him for years and can vouch for his work. If I had to go with a shop in this area to do a swap for me he would definitely be my first choice.
