If you have the ability to change any tuning on your truck I recomend you change the trans settings just for the dyno. Lower the speed that it will allow 3rd at wide open and lower the tcc settings also to lock the converter at the speeds you plan to run it at. I also recomend removing the rev limiter on the truck or you'll only be able to run a 2nd gear dyno pull.

I hit the speed limiter on mine at 120mph. I felt like a goon.
Going to a lower gear provides shitty results especially if you have a turbo.
