Anyone have an pictures of your car on the chassis dyno? Where are the best places to tie off?

Why yes, I do...
Not sure if it shows enough to help, though.

Thanks Marcus. Not sure I can tell what that is tied off to. My local dyno guy is just wanting to wrap straps around whatever lends itself. Thought I'd ask before I leap. Thanks for the post.

I have never done this but I would use the rear frame cross member. Or the A arms only if you have to keeping the straps as close to frame as possible. I would not recommend using the sway bar for any method of tying down the car.
There is a familiar looking dyno 
. If I remember correctly on this particular dyno the straps were not attached to the car. They went over the control arms and down to the dyno frame. The more the car pulled the more it rolled over the front roller the tighter the straps got. I was not 100 percent comfortable with this but they swear by it. What were the final results Marcus?

That sounds right, I remember smoking the tires on a dyno at an auto shop class I was in 20 years ago. If it was tied down like you said that would eliminate that problem.
