Jerry- he is one of our sponsors on our sprint car so, $150 was cheaper for him. We don't overcharge our new customers. Because of that reason, we have four dyno nights per week. It brings in a lot of business. There is now way,......you can beat tuning on a chassis dyno ! You can even calibrate for weather conditions. If the operator can't tune your car for the street, you had better find a better one. There are some dyno shops out there that the operator is only a computer geek, not a mechanic.
Our Mustang dyno is a real world test, unlike the dynosport. The only changes after a dyno run you'll have to make is if the weather changes a great deal if you're racing or, a elevation change. We've had drag racers spend hours in the pits trying to find what the motor needs. They come to our shop for a dyno run and figure it out in one hour or less.

442- We also have a "dyno day" (the last was for all Mopars) and they were single runs for $50. It was a blast for all of us. Had pizza & soda (some had beer) Now, most want to come back to dial in their engines. That will be more $$$. We have all the jet's, spark plugs and distributer springs ect... to super tune most engines.
The dyno is good for our business as we don't over charge plus, "the word of mouth" for the dyno and our regular daily driver mechanic business is fantastic. We even put our sprint car on the dyno. Long story but, it was hilarious.
