We generally run my car at 150 ramp rate to get a full clean run with no slip..

I have always prefered a looser strap, so the tire has a better chance of climbing and biting into that front roller. Either way...you are doing the right thing...as ramp rates dont make much of a difference in peak whp.
We have run 680rwhp (DD numbers) with a 4.3L 350z at 180 ramp rate and haven't had any problems on 19s. Deflate the tires, strap the car down, then inflate them again. But you are probably already doing that. Just a friendly reminder

hehe..with our strapping system , we do all the strapping from the rear of the dyno, and its really easy, and very secure. The car is actually supposed to come slightly off the center line of the dyno, and ride up a little bit on the front roller. If you look closely, you can actually see the car rock forward slightly, and then back after I let off. This is the correct way to strap down and measure power on the DD.

You forgot about me having a nervous breakdown and screaming "I am never boosting my car!!!!!!!!!!!!" every time anything brakes...
I feel left out...

im gonna jump into the dyno debate.
Do u guys know that dyno dynamics modifies dyno outputs for each market it supplies too.. Ring and australian branch (head office) and american branch and ask why your numbers dont compare to those oversea's.
In australia, 375whp will run 119-120mph.

It was a fun 20$ mod.
How about aound clip!
