Default Strapping down C5 for dyno?

I tried searching but didn't find anything specifically addressing this topic. Considering how tricky it can be just to jack the C5 up, I wanted to see if there were any particular suggestions or advice for strapping the car down on a Dynojet.

Your dyno operator should know how to do this.

I'm not asking how to strap a car onto the dyno. I'm asking if there are any peculiarities specific to the C5 to watch out for.

Considering I am dynoing at an "import" shop, I doubt they will be familiar with any Corvette quirks.
