How to dyno c8
My club had a dyno day and when we put them on the dyno they would just bog down. What were we missing?

Hey Guys,
So luckily we have had over 20 C8's on the dyno so far and the procedure we use every time is:
1. Hold traction control button down for a few seconds until ESC turns off.
2. Put car in first gear and cruise 2-3krpm for a minute or so, this will cause all the faults to appear on the dash which is what you want.
3. Proceed to shift to appropriate gear and start making pulls.
Failure to do this sequence usually results in one of two things:
1. Car shifts right back to first and won't let you shift up
2. Car can bog down and won't allow you to floor it.
Thanks
Andrew

Something wrong with the dyno or it wasn't loaded on the dyno properly. Maybe traction control. Shouldn't be any different than if it were driving on the street.

As cicio said. You will also have to clear the check engine light after dyno'ing it or disconnect the battery for a bit.

@Cicio Performance if I could ask, what gear do you pull in? Fourth?
