I ran on the dyno day because 50 bucks didn't sound too bad to me, and because it sounded like fun -- I've never even watched a chassis dyno in person before, only an engine dyno a few different times with my V8 Ford racecar engines.

It seems that there are quite a few people who think a car CANNOT be tuned without a dyno. Sure you will gain power, but I think you should be able to be tuned pretty solid before you get there if you've spent time driving and street tuning. If you are going to try some different parts on your car while at the dyno, then it would be extremely useful -- I would assume that the average person doesn't do a whole lot of that though.

For me, about 3/4 of the fun of having a performance type car is tuning it myself. I wouldn't have much fun to put on a bunch of parts and then hand the car to someone else to do the tuning, or especially have someone else do all the work on the car as well.
