I have done several dynos that have been posted (search).
is is accurate? A dyno is best used to ascertain differences vs absolute values. As every dyno produces different numbers it is unwise to dyno once and then claim the car has XXX amount of power when the dyno down the street will give a different result.
Also the car is a bit trick as 4th gear is best for the dyno but mashing the gas in 4th produces a kick down which explains why many dynos start at 4000k or higher.

Thanks, so as long as you can put it in 4th then you can dyno an auto.
