Tuning, do I need a 4WD Dyno from my AWD truck?

Hey guys I recently ordered some goodies to start modding my 04 Buick Rainer. Since this SUV comes with AWD do I need an AWD dyno to use my HPTUNER? An AWD dyno run is like $115 so I want to make sure I'm not pissing money away here.

If you want to dyno tune it i guess yes is the answer to your question.

he's right, an awd truck is best dyno'd on an awd dyno. the transfercase doesn't like the driveshaft out.

I think some SS guys disconnect their front d-shaft, because they have no access to one. But if you have access to an AWD dyno by all means go for it. It will be more accurate and less of a hassle in the long IMO.
