That's awesome!
I would NEVER get anything done if I had a dyno at home.... I'd be pulling the neighbor's cars up on there just to play...
Awesome toy... You'll really learn how to extract power out of your vette now..

Shoot you didn't need to spend all that money there's dyno apps for ur iPhone that are free.
There's a youtube video of someone testing the iPhone app and verifying the results on a dyno, the results were amazingly accurate. Of course you need to have your tires planted otherwise the numbers are garbage. And if your a professional you might not come across too professional with your iPhone app.

MAN...I am so STOKED for you. I know if it were me I could not get it in and working fast enough.
And YOU are welcome at my 'pad' anytime also!!!
I keep looking at the photo you posted and it is just way too BAD A$$!!! It sits there...looking like it is waiting for some super bad a$$ car to be turning those drums like crazy....I ALWAYS LOVE a car on a dyno when it is being twisted up....something about the power being produced and being able to see what it is doing.
MAN...that is just way too cool!
