Default dyno do's & don'ts

posted this in general earlier and realized more appropriate here. gonna let the instructors and students in our summer high performance class put my '00 coupe on the chassis dyno next week. Should I tell them to place car in competitive driving mode for the pull? Anything else I need to tell them beforehand?

Traction control OFF
4th gear
2000-6400rpm is the max rpm I'd run it to, maybe even 6200 since it's a base '00 (don't over rev it, it''s not worth it)
check oil beforehand
make the pulls at about 195 degrees
