Slam brakes on a dyno.

[kukri]

Here's what the local argument is about:

If a FWD car is strapped properly (cross straped)(Dynojet), would if come off the dyno if driver was to slam on brakes during the pull?

Thanks.

I don't think so, what would make it want to come off the dyno? All it would be doing is rapidly reducing the RPM of the dyno's roller. There would be no force applied that would try to push or pull the car off the dyno.

Ive seen it happen and the car will jump around a bit then the brakes get hot but thats about it.

That is on a dynojet of course.

There was a video of some dude hitting the brakes on a dyno. the car moved a little, but not much. Im pretty sure its not good for the dyno.
