Curious... what's it cost to get dyno tested?

My car's flat stock, but I've always been curious as to actual numbers. Just not big-money curious.

If you have black berry storm or iphone/itouch I read reviews their dyno programs are pretty accurate. I'm planning on just doing that with a friends iphone some day.

Would a dyno shop even know how to tune a stock Nikki? I'm finding the list of shops, dealers, smog places, and suchlike that don't just go "uh, what's THAT thing?" to be getting shorter all the time.

it looks like you were a little scared to do it.. I would imagine higher numbers. try more runs in different areas. perhaps the road had bad traction ect or you didn't mount the phone good or the phone was moving around too much to get consistent readings.

A haltech will always be capable of more. he said only one run and it was sketchy. With a haltech you could fine tune and rape it reliably.

What about a simple SAFC since you're only gonna run stock boost?
