Typically they charge $75 for a pull.  The question is, what are you looking for?   Just numbers, or are you wanting them to tune the motor on the dyno.

I was just curious about the hp and torque numbers.But the thought of having it fine tuned on the dyno is very appealing.Is there another formula for calculating torque and then measure the hp from the torque numbers.I remember seeing a site w/ an online dyno-sim.You entered the vehicle weight, your quarter mile time ,and then it would calculate your horse power.Any way,how much more is it usually to have a motor tuned on the dyno?Thanks for the reply and hope to hear from ya soon.

Around here it is $80 an hour.  Not worth it in my opinion.  Most dyno shops are geared toward computer controlled vehicles.

You can play with these for some calculations.  www.bgsoflex.com/auto.html
