Default Speed Sport Tuning in Bridgeport, CT?

Has anyone heard or seen this shop? I can't find it in any search engine on the internet. But I was told that they have a Dynapack, Dyno (the only one in this area). This is the same dyno that UL is using. I believe that this type of dyno reads higher then a dynojet (in the 10% range). Although UL claims 10hp. I would like to do a comparison on both dynos to figure it out once and for all. So if someone lives in the area can help me out by looking in a yellow book or knows the shop, I'd appreciate it.

FYI Bridgeport is the HOOD of Connecticut. I will never park/bring or drive my car through Bridgeport except on the highway to go through the city.

I wouldn't even bother personally. Though thats just my opinion.

Really? Wow, who knew. I guess, I'll wait the 3 months for the place in NJ to open up.

Are you 100% sure it is in Bridgeport, CT?

The only speed sport I know of in CT is this place:
http://www.speedsporttuning.com

Located in Norwalk, CT.

I used to work in Westport, and have been past this place, and even stopped in once to get some work done on my TT.

They said they ONLY work on Porsche and wouldn't accept my business.

I don't know if they have a dyno, and I don't know if they let just anyone use it. The impression I got, and from what I have seen/heard, they mostly deal with tuning high end $$$$ race preped porsches.

This is not to say this is the same place as the place you are thinking of in bridgeport, or that they do or do not have a dyno, or that they won't dyno a S2000 but will dyno a Porsche. This is just based on what I know and I am guessing that there aren't two Speed Sport Tuning shops so close to each other.

Hope this helps. Give them a call and see if it is the place you are thinking of.

What is your reasoning for running on a dynapack vs a dynojet? Sure the dynapack will give you a higher # on your print out, but I never drive without my wheels on do you?

Jenner totally agree and this is where the problem lies. Many many folks on this board seem to believe that is legitimate whp that is being shown on the dynapack. I just don't believe that's the case. Call it a curiosity thing but I want to know what the difference is.

I should add that I don't have any doubts in ULs abilities or the abilities of the dynapack. I just think that for comparative basis it would be interesting to see what the real difference between the 2 are.
