OK.. I'm going to try and sum this up from an outsiders few, sems I have no experience on an AWD dyno..
Gathering the info from this statement, its seems to me that both rollers on the dyno are connected, unless dissconnected.. So, I'm going to assume that an "AWD" mode, the HP/Trq reading are taken by using some sort of table using the power sent to BOTH rollers.. Correct?
So, your dynoing a 2wd car, in "AWD" mode, which means both rollers are still connected, for the reasoning stated above.. Therefore, I'm guessing that the table using the measure the HP/Trq is still the SAME table use to measure 2wd cars, which means that the front tires are causing the front rollers to "drag", due to no power being at the front wheels.. So, using that same table to calculate AWD HP/Trq, the numbers are much lower on a 2wd car, because the table is equating both rollers, not just the powered rollers..
Correct? thats what I'm gathering from all this..
But doing that is, well, kinda stupid.. 2WD dyno's, the ABS light comes on as well, simply for tha fact the the WSS's are getting mixed readings.. Shut the car off and take it for a drive, no ABS light and it does NO damage to any of the sensor's or ABS system.. as litlespic said, its simply a dummy light..

So are any of you Dyno inc. representatives gonna tell us weather this is right or wrong..?
Or are you actually convinced there is nothing wrong with your dyno/your methods of dynoing cars, when a 400 Crank HP car is dynoing 270's...?
