Default Question about active handling??????

Do dyno operators disable Active Handling when dynoing a vette? If it was on, would it effect dyno hp and tq?

I think the active handleing limits the tq to 300 or something, not sure but that is one thing I wish I could completley take off my car!...

I would assume that when a dyno run is done on a vette, active handling is disabled to give a better indication of hp and tq??????

you have to turn it off especially if you are tuning for nitrous. If the AH or TC cut back on fuel you will **** your motor to high hell when spraying. No reason for AH/TC to be turned on when doing a dyno run. Car is not going to go anywhere.

Thats normal. And you must turn it off when you dyno, because the system gets spooked by the rears turning while the fronts are still, and trys to stop the party.
