Dyno Strap Down

How difficult is it to strap these to a dyno? Tune touch up is in order. Thanks

Ooops sorry. Didn't realize this was the GTM area. I was sorting forum by "new" when I replied.

Having been a dyno tuner for 20+ years, I can see the GTM being difficult to strap down. You need to be able to access the frame in the rear. In the front you can go off a suspension point if you HAVE to, but I don't like that personally. The GTM is very flat underneath with a lot of coverings. The straps need to be able to come out of the underside of the car at an angle and not be pinned against the body or anything flexible. I've always been a Dynojet and Mustang Dyno guy, but you might want to consider the style of dyno that attaches to the hubs with the wheels off.

Thats the issue I figured we would run into. I looked under the car I have and appears to be difficult to access usable spots!

Back in 2010 (?) when I built an early GTM I had it on a dyno to do some tuning. The dyno guys seem to find a way to tie it down as we ran multiple pulls with no adverse reactions. Probably just takes a little time when on the dyno bed to figure out a good tie down location.

Yep. What Sal said "Hub dyno".

my rear defuser is removable. if you remove it for the pull it makes it very easy!
