Default Heading to the dyno tomorrow, any tips?

I added a Steve Wong chip to my C2 and want to make sure the air fuel is good and get some baseline HP/TQ numbers on a Dynojet. I've dynoed my others cars but this will be the first time with the 964 on the rollers so I was wondering if there are any 964 tips/tricks that I might have missed.

- Dyno in 4th gear
- Fan blowing in passenger side front vent (oil cooler)
- No traction control to worry about
- Complete Steve Wong's 3 power checks

One other question, what's the best way to secure the rear of the car? I saw in a few YouTube videos it looks like a lot of people use the threaded tow hook, is that the best method?

Thanks and I'll post up the graphs tomorrow.

Wait you already added the chip but Did you do a baseline pull prior to installing the chip? Would be nice to see the difference

Unfortunately not. When I purchased the car it had some stalling and driveability problems because it has cams and a lightweight flywheel so I was in a hurry to get the chip installed to address those problems. I didn't really notice a power difference between the stock chip and the Wong, but it idles super smooth and doesn't stall so it's been well worth it.

I see people say most stock cars dyno 220-230rwhp so I would assume I'm a little higher than that but we'll find out tomorrow.

Make sure you have good gas.

Check tire pressure, make sure it's equal on both sides.

Make sure even the force of the RMS Titanic pulling your car forwards won't snap those cables

I would imagine the dyno company would carry the tie-down equipment you need.

Filled up with some good 93 octane and did some pulls last night. Everything felt good.

Going to check the tire pressure and head to the dyno in a bit.

Thanks for the help.
