Default Dyno Worth Their Salt

In amongst the numerous gurus subscribed to this forum, someone must have already come up with a list of questions to ask so know you are getting a quality dyno. Any one know of such an animal?

no list but i guess
#1 ask them what tuner they recommend- it is likely the tuner they can tune the best
#2 ask to see old Dyno maps and what other bikes and combos they have tuned and the results. (pay attention to air fuel ratios)
#3 How long they think it will take normally 3-4 hours but if they only work on it 1 hr after work every day after work it may take a week like mine.
#4 how expensive. Most reputable dyno guys will charge $100 per hour topping out at $300 to $400 max charge.
#5 what kind of questions they are asking you. If they just say Ill call you when its done I'de walk away.

thats all that come to mind right off the top of my head Im sure there will be more people chiming in
