Default Dyno pricing

Since my email tune from Bama is ****ed, Im probably going straight to the dyno shop after work monday.
It's the only shop in the area I'll use since they know everything about my car and have done a lot of work on it.
However, their dyno pricing is 105 an hour and cant tell me how long it would take to tune.
How many hours and how much should a dyno tune for hot rod cams COST?

edit: Just remembered their dyno is also a mustang chassis dyno. Does that matter all that much?

mustang chassis dyno is fine and most charge anywhere from 200-500 for data logging, Wideband A/F ratio, boost (if applicable) and can customize the tune if they know what they are doing. Some dyno places just offer the dyno and the rest is up to you....make sure they can tune the S197 modular motor!

The type of dyno should not matter. The shop didn't say how long they expect it to take? They should at least give you an idea.

The way this shop seems to work is they'll give you the worst case and then when you get the final bill it's usually nowhere near that. Got my cams with new tensioners installed for 545 so can't complain on that.
I have to call em again on Monday though as I'm sure I forgot some of the details (had thrown my back out that morning, all hopped on muscle relaxers).

Its a very reputable shop and routinely builds and tears down 8second mustangs that they take to Firebird raceway. I'm confident in them but would like to know what a dyno tuning should cost.
