See that M Tech are doing it. I will be giving it a miss as they were unable to run ST225's at stanta pod recently due to the st's traction control and them being unable to turn it off.

Nope, it doesn't on most cars, just makes it tamer.

Most cars need a little trickery to bypass the problem for a Dyno session.

Should those of us who want to go on the dyno let you know before hand so you can position us for easy exit to go onto it mid-show?...

Edit: After reading some of the comments I'm not sure I want to stick it on the roller now haha

I remember a member putting his cosworth on at one of the shows and the figures were a country mile out so basically a waste of money
