Default How much do you pay for dyno time per hour in your area??

I was just wondering what everyone else in other parts of the country is having to pay for dyno time per hour.
Like me for instance, I went to Strictly Performance here in Houston and they lowered there price to $75.00 an hour with the use of the wideband. Even though it's a mustang shop, you can't beat that price. Shops that cater to imports like Carboy charges $200.00 an hour !

So where are you from and how much are you paying?

$65/hr at xoticmotorsports.com or $75 at a localshop around here with wideband.

With the rate of $50/hr of tuning that boosted hybrid charges....I can basically get my car tuned on street and dynoed for around $300 and walk home a happy man.

Locally it's about 100/hour with wideband and no tuning. David, Lawrence mentioned getting a dyno just down the street from his shop. Do you know if he got it yet? I'll probably be going back to Strickly since they dropped their rate to 75/hour.

Payn Tech charges 180 per hour on a Mustang Dyno which belongs to another shop. when they get their own dyno installed in their new shop, I think it's going to be around 160 per hour.

I just got mine done from payn, got 199.6HP and 139.6TQ at only 5psi on a Mustang Dyno. They did a damn good job, and the numbers sound great for only 5psi. I'll be going back there again soon, as soon as I ... fix my boost controller. Apparently it's hooked up backwards or something.

Hey.. I didn't install it!

He said the deal fell threw with the person that was going in on it with him. Honestly if I was you, I would hurry back before he gets his dyno because I don't think he'll be that cheap................But then again he might just have a flat rate for use of the dyno and tuning? Who knows!
But yeah when I was calling around town a few weeks ago, Carboy, once again , quoted me at $200.00 an hour just to rent the damn thing. I don't know what's up with Jackie, I mean the is nothing prestigious to me about going to Carboy .
Oh and then I call back the next day looking for VP C16. Seems like everyone around Houston is carrying Sunoco, so I was refered to Carboy by another shop. Jackie told me $9.00 a gallon. I got quoted $6.50 from S&S Racing, and $7.00 from Lawrences shop! I was like WTF! I guess they feel everyones a sucker walking through the door, CARBOY !

FREE :D well I worked there though....

Normally its between 100-150 and hour for the dyno.... Then if you want it tuned and have the dyno rented its between 120-245 an hour (including dyno).

Looks like I'm mid way in the pack.

125 for the first hour
100 each additional hour
includes wideband and my tuning skills/experience if desired.

I don't know how anyone makes money charging 65 an hour though. I tried doing that it didnt work
