I've seen dynojets (2wd) as cheap as $20k on ebay.
We felt this is what we need, and we only buy tools once.

I have a dumb question.

Why do you work on DSM's? Why wouldn't you work on all kinds of performance cars? Isn't there a large base of GM and Ford guys around?

Just askin'.

Because DSM's ALWAYS break .
We do service all types of imports. Mitsubishi, Honda, Nissan, Toyota, Mazda, Subaru. There is a HUGE base of GM and Ford vehicles in the Twin cities, and about a dozen shops to service them.
We also do stuff with diesel trucks. Its just that currently, all the owners have either a Diesel truck, or a Mitsu.

It's usually better to do one thing and do it well, then to be a jack of all trades and master of none. For me that means putting most of my effort into EFI tuning(I don't care import or domestic) and not trying to be a master engine builder, chassis/roll cage fabricator, etc. I build my own motors and some customer motors, but I never tried to push it on people and would give them other options with other shops.

There are already quite a few, well established Chevy and Ford performance shops in the area.

Very well put. Thats why everyone has a "nitch" within our company. It allows us to offer a variety of services, which allows us to control all aspects of a build.
What is your take on the sofware commonly used on Domestic Vehicles? Is it similar to the import/universal stuff?
I figure if anyone with a high HP domestic is using our dyno, they are bringing a tuner, so I am not even going to bother touching those.
