Chicane Motorsport tests and prepares high-performance sports cars in Olathe, Kansas. We run an in-ground AWD Linked Mustang MD-500 dynamometer, syncing front and rear roller speeds to safeguard modern all-wheel-drive center differentials while logging wideband air-fuel ratio data across full pulls.
Every dynamometer test at our Olathe shop follows an unchanging mechanical progression. We do not skip fluid inspections, and we never strap a vehicle over unsecured axle points.
Before strapping to the knurled steel rollers, the vehicle undergoes a physical mechanical inspection. We check for leaking steering racks, weeping oil drain plugs, deteriorated coolant hoses, and radiator overflow levels. Tires are checked for tread separation, dry rot, and uniform cold inflation pressures.
The chassis is secured over the in-ground pit using four Grade-70 ratchet binder straps anchored directly to factory towing lugs or subframe eyes. For all-wheel-drive cars (Haldex, DCCD, ATTESA, Audi quattro), the Mustang MD-500 mechanical belt drive links the front and rear roller beds together. Both axles spin at an identical surface speed, preventing transfer case slip heat and center differential torque-vectoring faults.
We install optical RPM markers on the crank pulley or connect an inductive clamp to primary ignition coil wiring to verify gear ratio calibration. In sessions with AFR logging, a stainless steel wideband lambda sensor is mounted in the exhaust collector bung or sampled via high-flow venturi tailpipe probe.
The technician brings engine oil and coolant up to operating temperature on the rollers, performs an initial 2,500 RPM calibration roll-on, and conducts consecutive wide-open-throttle power runs. The eddy-current brake applies controlled inertial resistance. Upon completion, the customer receives printed graphs showing wheel horsepower, wheel torque, and lambda mixture, plus raw CSV telemetry files.
Proper chassis dynamometer testing requires active climate management and high-volume ventilation. At wide-open throttle, competition engines generate intense exhaust heat and lethal carbon monoxide concentrations.
Our dyno bay at 883 N Jan Mar Ct in Olathe is outfitted with positive-pressure exhaust funnels and dual high-temperature evacuation fans that route combusted gases safely outside the facility. This positive scavenging prevents ambient heat soak around intake filters and stops backpressure distortion at the tailpipe wideband lambda probe.
All testing takes place at our 883 N Jan Mar Ct workshop in Olathe, Kansas. Rates are confirmed and standard. We do not charge hidden roller connection or tie-down strap fees.

Testing rates depend on: work classification (diagnostic power check vs custom ECU calibration); wideband AFR sensor integration; total hours occupied in dyno bay; number of pulls requested; and extent of mechanical preparation required before rollers spin.
We operate a clean, high-precision motorsport facility. To protect equipment, staff, and your powertrain, we inspect every car before it rolls onto the Mustang MD-500 bed.
If your engine drips oil onto the dyno pit, we stop. Fluid on steel rollers reduces tire traction and creates an immediate fire hazard when atomized by 150-mph wheel speeds. We clean wet pans before runs or reject the session until the leak is fixed.
Tires with exposed nylon belts, dry-rotted sidewalls, or directional arrows installed backward will not spin on our rollers. Wheel lug studs must engage full thread diameter with verified torque wrench clicks.
Bare wire splices around high-pressure fuel pumps, loose grounding cables, or unfastened battery tie-downs must be rectified in the paddock before dyno cell entry.
Speak directly with our service technician. We review your vehicle build specs, confirm roller linkage mode, and schedule your bay time at our Olathe workshop.
