Default Prepairing for Dyno Tomorrow. What should I check?

Just as title says. Should I lower tire pressure it is at 35psi. Anything else should I check to get a good reading for best results? Thanks

New fuel filter, clean air filter, fresh spark plugs, fresh O2 sensors, clean fuel injectors, oil topped off, belts in good shape, coolant level checked. Sounds pretty obvious, but you'd be amazed how many vehicles come to dyno with tons of preventative maintenance left to do.

By doing everything Pat suggests then your car should make as much power as possible. Nothing to second guess, well if I would've done this...you know.

Thanks Guys, I had explained to the dyno guy that my MAF senor was very dirty from oil of K/N Filter it was running 13.1-13.5. Si I cleaned it last night, cleanined filter hopefully I can get that 400 mark and a 12.8 A/F ratio.

This is the first time I cleaned The MAF since I had the car about two years ago.

also check your tranny mount and torque arm stuff...i think my tranny mount was loose and caused me to bust a tailshaft housing

check lugnuts for torque, play in u joints, make sure you see WOT, ect

pretend its life or death your car is perfect...
