Anyone knows where one could find a GOOD dyno shop?

Not something stupid that gives flywheel power, but whp (wheel horse power), perferrably with a widband AFR readout.

So far, Al Naboodah has one, but without a wideband read out....

Any roller dyno gives you ATW kw/hp. An engine dyno will only be able to give a calculated ATW figure.

And any 'tuning' shop tinkering with a tune without using a wideband might as well get set for a rebuild.

Looks like we speak the same language.....

I have an Innovative wideband installed in my car, i have a piggyback/fuel controller and dialed in a nice AFR.

Thing is, i want to know how much i got there on the wheels......

Comparing two AFR charts would be nice (one installed on the car and one on the dyno).

Ah, so basically after a power run. I know of a shop but it's in Kedron. You need 2w or 4w dyno?

Are you comparing the charts to verify accuracy/consistency? If so you'd need similar spec wideband attached to the dyno to get apples - apples results.

At the moment, i am looking for a power run, it is a 2wd dyno run as well.

But if their prices/per hour is good, then i would always use them when i start upgrading the turbocharger, intake, bigger injectors etc....

Then i get into timing....that is where i need the dyno run(s)

The latter.

The 'B' is sacraligious to the Porsche family.

I guessed ur's was as soon as you mentioned Al Naboodah.
