    That's why you strap the front as well. I would just ask the shop how good their insurance policy is. ut I dont have this kind of problem with dynos since i have a Civic.

    I was telling someone about this video the other day.

    But I know when I've dyno'd I have to sign a waiver saying if something goes wrong, the shop isn't liable. I wonder if something like this is included.

    I figure the waver only covers the engine blowing.

    waiver removes all liability, or damages that can occur. First issue is you don't strap awd cars like that too begin with, as they tend to move left/right alot.

    This was posted on EvoM. I would consider any shop that would only use one strap in the rear regardless of drivetrain orientation sketchy
