Chassis Dyno Cost?

Does anybody have a ballpark idea what it costs to have a 4wd truck put on a dyno? When I finish my engine, 400 c.i., I would like to get it tuned on a chassis dyno.

I don't know if this will help or not - but it cost me $250 to dyno my engine on an engine dyno.

I paid 80 bucks for three power/data runs on a Dyno Dynamics type dyno, and it had the ability to do 4wd/AWD vehicles at no extra charge.

Shop around here charges $75 for 3 pulls. I do not believe they do any tuning work for that price though....

Sorry guys, I guess I worded the first part of my post poorly. I meant a ballpark price for dyno tuning. Probably charged by the hr., since the timing, A/F ratio, and such would be adjusted while on the chassis dyno. I would probably do this after about 500-600 miles on a new rebuild. If anybody happens to know, I would greatly appreciate your input. Thanks, and sorry if I confused anybody.

I've had my 95 on the dyno 3 times. First was an initial pull, analyse computer activity, no actual tuning, $150. Second time was that plus install of the chip. Getting at the computer is time consuming, mustangs are much easier, but they gave me nice breaks on their normal hour charges. They normally charge $100 an hour and were pretty light on their hourly charges. The chip cost $400 but he charged me $350 because I was there once before. Last time I was there (11/9) he charged me $100 for 3 hours of work, including a re-tune (yanking the computer again) with about 5-6 dyno pulls. Charged me $100, bringing the total to $550. Cheaper than doing it myself w/o all that work.

His normal rates are $75 for 3 dyno pulls w/ A/F...or you can rent the dyno for tuning at $100/hr with their assistance.
