Default Advice/Help on first time dyno

saturday is a big dyno day in my town and im wanting to dyno my 01 Trans Am WS6 but it would be the first time ive dynoed a car and im worried about a few things. The car has 171xxx miles first of all but then again i know that the oil has been changed every 3k all its life. I just got this car a couple of months ago so i dont know that much about it yet except for what ive researched on here. Any help or advice would be appreciated

You should be fine, just make sure you're up to date on your maintenance.

Agreed.

Make sure your not throwing any SES Lights (Service Engine Soon), just incase something is pulling timing. I would still do a fresh oil change since it's considered good form.

The biggest thing is making sure mechanically its working fine as you do not want to waste your time and money if you need to fix known issues.
