engine dyno ?

i need to know what the average cost is, i have a guy that for $600 will spend one day tuning and tweeking the motor until its right. he seems to be a pro at building motors. just wondering if its a good, fair, or bad price. (im thinking about stopping in when he dynos a motor to see what he has going on)

Five to six bills is about right for dyno break in/tuning.
