Default Engine Dyno Costs

Looking to get my motor dyno tuned by a profesional before I drop it back in my car. I got one quote today but wanted to get an idea of what guys were paying.
Thanks in advance.

We charged $550.00 for a day (Eng dyno). That did not include fuel or any extra parts we had to supply, jets, gaskets etc

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

Unfortunately it's not a cheap date. You are paying for at least one guys valuable time for a day + fuel and the wear and tear on their expensive machine.

I had the good fortune of getting a couple dyno days on the house since a friend of mine has a dyno. I paid for one dyno day, that was $500. I actually think that is on the low end.

Thanks guys. I was quoted $800 and that doesn't include fuel and parts. I thought the price seemed high but if he has good references maybe it will be worth it.
I just started my search today so we will see what turns up.

$750 I believe is what Watson is charging me for the full day. You should come see their shop one of these days man... it's pretty impressive. Where is your $800 quote from?
