If you are talking about dyno tuning the only bad is the time it takes. Going to a dyno day is fun if you ask me. You get to see what everyone car makes and you get to compare yours to theirs...

I disliked when my rear end let go on the dyno, though it was kind of anticipated

Dyno days are great, Dyno tunes can be good or bad. You need to find someone that puts the time in getting the street tune correct. Now if you have bought a tried and true combo that has been installed multiple times then they will have most of the base tune already worked out. But if you are taking your car to someone with a combo that they didn't design then it will usually take a while to dial it in. Once it is set the dyno should only take a few pulls to tweak the top end.
