Sean,

Pics from our meet. The DG (Silverstone) G coupe in the front is me. Was the only pic I had a chance to save before the guy took it off his server.

They *should* have a fan (or two) blowing into the front of the car during a dyno run. You need to keep air flowing across the radiator (and any other cooling devices, such as intercoolers, etc.) to make sure the engine doesn't overheat. A shop will usually use some sort of big, high-output fan so there is plenty of air movement.

They must have had one then--I wasn't able to hang around to watch.

No problem and will do. Sounds fun. Everytime I see that avatar it makes me smile, BTW. Sweet looking lineup of cars there.
