Getting flashed on a dyno next week-any advice?
NOOB QUESTION:
I am finally getting a custom flash from a local tuner on a DynoJet next week. Nothing special at all, practically stock and running/getting tuned for 91 octane. Just want a baseline sheet and tune for my mods. I currently have a TBE installed without a tune, IX metal DV, and a Walbro and MBC to install the day before the tune. Put new plugs in and changed all the drivetrain fluids about 200 miles ago. I will be doing a boost leak test Sat.
This is my first time getting dynoed. Is there anything I should know and look out for that I didn't mention? Obviously show up with fuel in the tank, proper tire pressure, and ready to run... anything else?

Try to have your drivetrain fluids warm. If you have to sit for a few hours before your pulls, go drive for 5 min before your turn is up. If fluids are cold, your first couple of pulls will have to push through that extra resistance.

Thanks, that's just the type on info I was looking for. I think I'll be getting strapped down pretty much immediately after getting off the highway for about 60 miles, so I should be good. Just out of curiosity, what's my "window of warmth", i.e. how long until the fluids can be considered "cold" again?
