The run was done strictly to see trap speed (as an indication of power made). The car trapped at 107mph. While it is not a race condition (our local 1/4 mile drag strip is AAA Speedway home of the NHRA Nationals) it is a valid test. Also, I have compared my own track day numbers (and those of several customers) to the dyno run numbers and they are very consistent. Although I admit to having my dynos staging tree timing down better than any tracks so I always get a better reaction time on my dyno, lol.

1/4 mile runs on the dyno are a great way to safely and legally perform test hits without having to spend big money for test and tune days at the track.
