You could try Power Engineering in Uxbridge: www.powerengineering.co.uk

Don't know if they dyno cars with as much as 600 BHP, but it's worth getting in touch and asking.

Most dyno's down south are rated too 300 hp actual some however are upgraded to 500hp. After that it's all a bit of a guess job anyway.

You might want to contact www.tdi-plc.com in Essex.

G force is well able to handle 600+ bhp in fact well over 1200bhp at the wheels is fine so thay say. They are Porsche primarily and realy know their stuff with porkers but duno about your yank muscle.

Yeah Bob watson is also very Porsche knowledgable but again not sure about yank stuff and im sure his rollers are good for 600bhp ive sent over 500bhp up there anyway.

I think there is one at Fourways Engineering at Borough Green between Sevenoaks/Maidstone.

Whereever you have it done, let us know...

...print graphs...

...Think of power upgrades....

I live 8 mins walk from Bob Watson. An adjacent company that prepared Corvetees now reside in Bob Watsons. They use Bob's rolling road/dyno. There are many varied cars that make use of this facility, inc Bike Engined cars, Jags etc. Josh Sadler of Autofarm was in there last week mapping ignition on a 'new' pre 73 rally car. All the Porsche classic race cars have to be tested for for 'power over the limit' on Bob's dyno. 01869 340814, ask to talk to Bob.

im not into giving people a bad name but be careful of the guys who do the vettes, the last 2 years have been one hell of a problem for my other halfs parents who had a 383 stroker motor built by this guy, it was f????d from day one and over all it cost them 15 plus grand inc supercharger.problems like chemical metal sealing up the bottom of the cylinder liners where they were notched to far and ended up going into the water jacket.block sealer, it was mapped so badly that detenation killed it so bad the block and the pistons were junk.also i have heard of other horror stories , so be very very careful or you to could get bitten.
