Yea, I know. But they were more comfortable using 3rd and being my first time on any dyno, I decided not to pretend I knew more than them. After the first run the owner, who was watching commented that the car was braking. Then we smelled that hot brake pad smell, took a look and saw the glowing rotor. Really don't have a clue why. It's never happened just tearing around.

The dyno is mph by the way. The torque graph is all over the place except for the first pull which is steady at the peak from where I floored it to where I let off.
