Whas the big deal, you ask? Well, it's full time All Wheel Drive, so the dyno has to be an all wheel drive dyno. Found three in the Atlanta area, the one I'm going to go check on Monday is in Smyrna. This shop used an AWD Dynojet, which looks to be a Dynojet with two sets of rollers...

The other shop uses a Dyno Dynamics dyno...

Besides allowing front wheel drive dyno pulls, and all wheel drive dyno pulls, both of these dynos allow the software for AWD systems to be tuned, so owners of AWD vehicles can set when and how much power is shifted to the wheels. Very cool stuff.
I need to get a couple base line pulls in before doing any power mods.
