I measured this one by accident once. It was good for a 9hp loss on my wimpy little 4cyl.

Some cars disengage the A/C compressor clutch at WOT, so don't be surprised if there is no difference.

Also, alternator load can be done the same way. I know on my car that the tuning software allows for WOT alternator defeat. I'd assume that is just a load drop, but I don't know.

Sunday is open to anyone, with any car, on a first come first run basis.

Of course it does help if the engine is out of the car and the dyno is an "engine dyno" . . .

FYI on the Team Highball (now Dennis Shaw) engine dyno my FF engine made all of 114 HP.

Don't need a AWD dyno for and R32. You can pull a fuse and disable the rear wheels. We had a R32 run on saturday.
