How much can I expect to spend for chassis dyno time? I'm only looking to do a few pulls for the time being, probably just quick adjustments in between rounds, no major changes

Anything over $5 an hour is too much in my book!

I'll be next in line.
$5 wow the cheapest I've seen around here is $75 per hour.

Or are you saying thats how much you value them.

I've never used a Dyno myself. I'm not saying they aren't useful. It's just been too easy to go to the track for a little test N tune. I have a friend who breaks all his motors (SBC)in on a stand. It is a REALLY nice set-up. He tunes it, sets rocker arms,timing, breaks in springs and cams. Wonderful thing, I like it. He asked me why I don't have one. I pointed to my car and said I do have one.

Todd, I have a link that i'll have to find and it's basically a database of dyno shops around the world. Searchable by location.

I'll look it up and let you know.

Found it

http://www.dynojet.com/lauto.shtml

Good luck.

I'm also not sure how up to date that database is. But I would also do a search on yahoo yellow pages on "dyno". You might get a lot of stuff to weed through, but it might be worth it.
