Default Thinking about getting a dyno.

Just to see where I stand now so I can see my progression through future projects. Any guidelines or tips before I bring my car to the dynojet? I'm going to change my oil and use octane booster before I go, but I'm not sure if there's anything else I need to be concerned about.

-Change your plugs, try not to use octane booster so you can get real world figures.
-Make sure you have both tow hooks in the front, they'll strap down your lower control arms in in the rear
-No leaks, no funny noises
-Make sure both front tires have the same psi
