Baker has a chassis dyno, yes. I know a few people who have been there. Not sure how much or whatnot, though.
*edit* Just looked it up. We should get a group or something this summer out there.

Single pull = $50 (a couple “runs” to measure torque/horsepower)
By the hour = $125/hr for first hour; $75/hr thereafter (for testing and tuning)
Discount rates for car clubs or other groups of 8 or more.

I will do it. I'm putting a 355 in my TA and i'm lookin to make about 400hp. It would be cool to get it on the dyno if I can get it finished.
**now that i think about it my brother would too. Hes got an 84 regal we built for street/strip and an 82 ta he probably wouldn't mind bringing over here.

I think I might have a friend who may be interested as well.
I just sent them an E-mail regarding the pricing for a few number runs for a group of about 8-15. So we'll see what we're looking at.

Here is what they say:
Mike,
Thanks for your interest in the Chassis Dyno at Baker Engineering. We
typically run events like this on Saturday mornings (8 am to 11) and the
group price is $40 per car for 10 or more ($400 minimum so if there are
fewer cars, each pays a little more). And yes, these are usually "single
pulls" which means that each car gets to make two or three runs
back-to-back. If someone wants to do some tuning, and put the car back on
the dyno, that would be considered two separate sessions, and that person
would pay $80. Each person gets a printout of the data collected. March is
good month to schedule such an event. Give us a call if you have any other
questions.

Not that far in the south east corner. I'm maybe 15 minutes highway time from the Cascade area. However, my Camaro is stored about 15 minutes east of Studio 28, if you know where that is.
