How do you think Americans do dyno runs, when approx 97.85639360% of their cars are automatics?

Take the motor out and mount it on an engine dyno

Don't give him idea's 

I believe that its run up on the roller's, then the tech2 is used to lock the torque converter, or something like that.

My brother put his 9-5 auto on the dyno, so it seems likely that an Omega could do it too.
OT it has 292 whp

So I've read, people have had their autos are dyno'd but the gearbox 'kept changing down' which doesnt make a whole lot of sense, as you can lock the box into 1st, but not really sure how dynos work. As I understood it, you rev it, then let the revs die off, the resultant 'drag' is used to calculate a figure (bhp / hp being a mathematical figure, it's not 'real' in the same way a second is, it's not like lb/ft or 14.5 Newtons etc) HOw, however, that relates when you use an auto, as you say, the TC is a completely different kettle of fish.

That's my knowledge of this pretty much exhausted.

There is something in TIS, you can use  Tech2 to lock the torque converter.

So we need someone with a Tech2 to turn up on a pre-arranged Dyno day, then

  Oh, come on, admit it, you want to know if your motor manages to push out over 100bhp, or not!
