[DeTomaso] Dynojet Question

[Art Stephens]

     I would not be comfortable tying to the sway bar itself,  I would think 
it would be possible to rip it off the car?  I would feel safe tying around 
the part of the chassis near the  rear sway bar,  where most people have 
attached the Detomaso plate.  I remember someone reporting that they got the 
same dyno readings in third and fourth gears.
