For JUST a break in on the dyno I would think they would charge $350 or about that... being that they have to mount it and all, your better off doing a full day

I charge $400.00 CDN for 5 hrs on the dyno. Others in my area charge about the same onup to $700 for the day. It's always worth it--There are things found on the dyno that you would never find in the car. J.Rob

$600 for a day on the dyno here. Like said before, you'd be better off doing the day and make some pulls. All the time is in setup.
Or you could build a cheap engine test stand to have at home like I did.

Hey RAMM where are you located?
I paid about $400 a day quite a few years ago, was sure worth it when I bent a valve and didn't have to remove it from my car to fix.

A lot of guys on a budget won't spend the extra money for dyno break-ins or testing,which is a shame. The closest guy to me was charging $400.00 to break it in and make one power pull and no tuning. The shop I bought my dyno from was charging $300.00 for a break in and told me guys would get all excited seeing the engine on the dyno and want power numbers,so he would charge them another $300.00 just to make a few pulls. I offer half day(4 hour) sessions for $250.00,and will do break ins,power pulls,whatever time will allow. $400.00 will get a full day(8 hour)session. I will probably offer even further discounts at times. I mainly am offering this to help out the average bracket racer,as a lot can be learned. Keith
I agree with Keith 100%, there is so much to be learned about your motor. I had HemiRam's 512 on last winter and he ended up with a bad carb, and a leaking rear seal. If he'd tryed to break it in, in the car some real bad things would have happened. From what I've seen on average you can usually pick up 45-50hp tuning it on the dyno from start to finish.Dave

That is exactly what I am thinking!! I have a completely new car front to rear. I have a couple of these to do. The first one is small block stroked 360. My concern is cam break in and how my trans is going to react. As well as seals and the such. I would like to get the new rubbed off and then maybe do some tweaking. A whole day sounds like the way to go. And $500 is not a bad price for piece of MIND!!! Now just to find someone in Oklahoma City? But I am probably headed to Duncan.
