Houston area dyno day?

I am interested in setting up a dyno day - an AWD dyno! There is a Dyno Dynamics AWD dyno in Houston (Stafford) that has coupled rollers to avoid stressing the AWD differentials. It is rated to 4500ftlbs of tq. I have read that this is the Lexus of dynos and can hold a steady state load. The facility usually charges $75 for 3 pulls, and I was seeing how much interest people might have in doing something that would allow safe testing of their AWD (and 2WD) cars? Place is called Enginelogistics.com

dyno specs here:

From what I've been told by a friend there is no real good AWD dyno's for Porsches here in Houston.

Maybe we can pay a friend of mine to help remove the front Driveshafts (since it doesnt take long at all) and we can all dyno at like MTI or my friends dyno at G-Force. I'm sure I can work a good price on both.

I'll talk to my friends at both shops and my friend that knows the Porsche stuff. See what kind of deal we can get.

MTI = Dairy Ashford / Westhiemer
G-Force = 2351 in Pearland.

the 997's cannot run with disconnected drive shafts. The stability controls will try to brake the rear wheels to compensate for the F&R speed differential.
