Going to the Dyno Thursday - Any Tips? Other than the obvious, what things should I take care of before my trip to the dyno later this week?
I have cleaned my air filter, ported the TB, I don't want to do the TB bypass thing, changed my synthetic oil, and the plugs & wires aren't very old.
My mods are: Ported TB, EGR cutoff, Hooker cat-back, K&N filter, and FRA.
It's pretty stock, but I just want to be prepared.
Thanks in advance.

I learned about the tire pressure thing while searching the web this weekend. I'll take care of that on Wed.
I thought I'd change the oil to a thinner weight just for the test...maybe 5/30 or 0/20. But I did the Seafoam thing a week or two ago and changed the oil. I didn't plan the dyno trip until a couple of days later. I'm not gonna do it again just for that.
Is it cheating to remove the a/c belt or is just about anything "fair"?
I wish I could afford to get a full tune ($500+) but this'll have to do. The operator suggested there might be a COUPLE of things we might be able to come to an agreement on ($$$) without doing the whole enchilada...
Thanks for the ideas, guys. I hope she doesn't embarrass me with low numbers...

I did the trans fluid/filter earlier this year, and the rear lube late last year. Neither entertain recommendations for synthetic so I'll have to be satisfied with what's in 'em.
I usually worry things to death, but I don't think there's much more I can do now. I just don't want to miss anything.
Thanks for the ideas. 'Preciate it.
