Dyno Question
Im putting my car on the dyno to get tuned for the first time this saturday. What rpm should it be taken up to to get the best reading. I want to be on the safe side and do not want to do any possible damage to the car. what is a conservative number?

Take it all the way to the rev limiter. You'll be fine if the car's running good. These engines are meant to rev, man. 
Don't drive it like a grandma.
Your tuner should know what to do anyway if he's experienced.
