Technically, the Dynapack at BlackTrax requires you to take off the wheels...

We can do that or a Mustang All Wheel Dyno, they both read equally low... I was just gonna see who has the time.

True, but it would still be hard for him to get there with his car on blocks... Some no good people went to his house and stole his rims. Why in the world would any thief want sevas

I live literally 2 minutes away from them & from the experience of a bunch of friends who have gone their it is one of the worst shops around. I have heard of cars flying of their dyno because they dont know how to tie them down right. and this has happened on multiple occasions.

Not if it's calibrated correctly... some shops just skip a few steps so their dyno reads a bit higher so their customers leave happier. But a lower reading dyno is better for a dyno tune.
