I don't think there is an AWD dyno in Northern NV yet.

Other than "road dynos" (software), is there even such thing as a single dyno that can measure power of both AWD and 2WD cars, and actually give numbers that can be realisticaly compared to eachother?

Normally it's pretty unrealistic to compare numbers from one dyno (real or virtual) to another.

I know I can log my car with my own laptop and Ed can use his software to give me numbers that should be realistically comparable to numbers he's given me before (when he's up here and measuring with his laptop or just from other logs I've done before). Of course there's tons of variables so slight variations don't necesarily mean the car is more powerful, could just be a couple degrees cooler that day...
