[Diy_efi] Smog pump and emissions testing question...

[Brian Renegar]

Yep.  Sounds like the people here also.  Sheesh!  Yeah, I wish they would 
let you drive your own car.  But there's no way that would happen.  I 
wonder what kind of insurance or whatever they have though.  They do NOT 
strap your car down to the dyno.  Yeah, it's two rollers for each drive 
wheel, so the wheel sits in the middle of them.  But if there is a load 
being placed on the rollers, then there is the possibility of the car 
jumping out of the rollers!  I know on performance dynos they strap your 
car down REAL tight.  Makes ya wonder....
