They were $45 at AZDC for 20 min. (actually as long as you wanted/needed on the dyno within reason)

And we got lunch

I agree with you there, I would have thought they would offer lower prices just for the fact of having all those people there.

Ok, I guess my memory wasn't that good. I still think $75 for 3 pulls it too much.

I'm going to keep working on F.A.T. to lower the prices on the dyno. We'll see in the next week or two if they will budge as they are pretty flexible folks in general.

It will be 120 per hour and for 20+ trucks, 100 per hour. Or we could do $75 for 3 pulls however you guys want to do this.

Justin won't be tuning on the dyno, he will be tuning on the street. It is better to tune a vehicle at constant speeds rather than pulls, for instance would take 4-5 pulls just to get the full throttle down. When he tunes on the dyno (~1hr), he still does a quick check on the street after wards.

The dyno shop was suggested by a member to have a good place to meet. Not sure how many people want to pay those prices for the pulls.

Yeah, just figured F.A.T. would be a nice centrally located place to meet up and close to a frontage rd/freeway for street tuning would be perfect.

Glad to hear this I have heard of several tuners who knock out a tune in about 15 minutes with 2-3 dyno pulls. Much better to have a street tune done or a tune on a load bearing dyno.
