Default Dyno advice needed...

Taking my car to have it on a rolling road tomorrow and just after some advice on how to achieve best results.

- Do I need to reset my my ecu?
- Clearly put it in sports mode
- Manual or auto mode?
- Anything else?

1. Some will say reset the ECU, I never did, and got accurate results.

2. Yes, put in sport mode.

3. Manual mode and shift before redline.

4. Run the Dyno in 6th - the one to one gear.

5. Turn off the Climate Control.

6. When you arrive at the Dyno shop, let the car sit (in the shade) for awhile and cool off. (Most Dyno shops run with the hood open and a large fan blowing on the engine}.
