    Maybe I misunderstood the OP then. What is include for $750 for an NA engine? I thought that was the cost of the tune and the dyno time.

      Wait, what? That's a setup fee? They aren't running a manufacturing shop here, that doesn't make sense. But it is Canada...

      ​As long as it can do steady state runs in addition to pulls a hub dyno is perfectly adequate.

        $750 is just a base charge for the the privilege of being in the same room as the dyno. the set up, tuning, and hourly charges come on top of that.

            it's a $1000 if you have a turbo. whether the turbo is stock or not.

                yes.

                edit : not so much for tuning. i was considering getting the car on a dyno for a couple pulls to see how decent it is after the build. i'm gonna run a sssquid chip. it's not much a burning desire lol, i know ther car isn't going to be much off stock as far as hp level.
