Plus you have a dyno sheet to show what it made. To me, when someone says, I have a 500hp engine, it doesn't really mean much unless they can back it up with proof.
Around here, it's $400 for a full day (8-10 hours) of dyno runs. It's well worth it.

What Blykins said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will not put my own motors in a car without having them dynoed first......It's a pain in the butt to go thru the trouble of installing it and finding a small
oil leak or water leak that requires pulling the motor back out to fix......
Also, a dyno tune on your motor is well worth the money, to me at least..... found on my motor that a timing change of 2 degrees either way off 32 degrees resulted in a 8 to 10hp loss!!!!!!!!! I was more worried about getting the air/fuel mixture right and not melting pistons.....once installed, I have peace of mind knowing all should be well.......
Around here, dyno time goes for about the same 400 bucks for an 8 hour day and so far, I've been lucky and have never spent more than about 5 hours from start to finish at the dyno shop..........
