As to where I do it: I take it to Sierra Diesel Injection on Mill St (just off of 395). I like it because it takes them about 5-10 minutes to do the entire check, it's not a national chain, and the owners are really nice people.

That's where I have mine done too. They're top shelf, always can get all the weird little pieces I need.
Those numbers are strange. I just went and looked at one I had done there 2 weeks ago. It lists the speed at 40 and the HP at 15, with a 2.6 opacity. As i understood it, for smogs they just load the dyno wheels enough to simulate engine load at a moderate cruising speed. Maybe they forgot a decimal point?
