The first roll was just to center the car up on the rollers since the car came in a little off center.

I wonder if the two-roller dyno unit had anything to do with torque being down compared to horsepower? The old Clayton dyno's had a hard time with wheel spin due to the small rollers and it wasn't unusual to have three guys sitting in the trunk during the run to provide extra traction. Could you post the results?
