Taking the car to a Dyno - predictions?

Hey all,
I've got a 1988 GTA with a 5.0 (unfortunetly) and I'm going to a dyno later this week to get a reading of what it's got. #1 anyone know how much these places charge?
#2 - here's my mods, any predictions on RWHP?
Catback Dynomax 3" Exhaust, stock headers, cold air kit, AFPR@47psi, everything else is BONE stock on the car. I'm not expecting a lot here, just want to get an idea from the dyno if it doesn't cost too much $$.
Lata all

Why in the world do you dislike your 5.0? I love mine to the tune of 421 rwhp and a best E/T of 12.04!!

...and I'm going to a dyno later this week to get a reading of what it's got. #1 anyone know how much these places charge?
I paid $75 in Phoenix two years ago.

#2 - here's my mods, any predictions on RWHP?
It's kind of like predicting E/T's. Don't!! All you're doing is setting yourself up for disappointment. Don't have any expectations.

What Willie said...
Locally, I know two shops that charge $75 for two runs, or $150/hr for tuning.
My guesstimate is 170 rwhp.
