Six Sigma Dyno Services in Concord, NC will be holding a Dyno Seminar on Saturday November 14th from 9am-4pm. The idea behind the seminar is to instruct people how to use a chassis dyno properly and safely. It will be an all day thing, with some examples on the dyno. I am not going to cover alot in regards to tuning your vehicle, but I will go over some testing procedures, how to interpret some of the data, strapping cars down, how the machine works, etc. The intended audience are those interested in tuning their own cars, private tuners that want to know how to use our machine and facility quickly and efficiently, and those generally interested in dyno testing and tuning. This will be a great opportunity for guys interested in tuning (or those who already are tuning) to learn some valuable information and get an opportunity to see how everything works in a safe, controlled enviornment.
