Talked with the engineer who designs the Gen 4 unit and does all the testing on the vehicles. One they used stock knobbed tires and only saw slippage for a blip down low then no slippage so they used stock tires for all R&D work. Also they have some pretty sophisticated measuring equipment and they never saw the Maverick close the throttle any during any testing. To add to this, I ordered the Power Commander V so I can personally watch TPS during a run to verify this myself. They did how ever state that the Commander will close the throttle some.
Dobeck is also in the process of building their own dynos for resale so they must know something about them
So two big companies are using stock tires on the dyno with no issues same as we are.
To repeat what I posted in another thread, I went back this AM and did a slow roll so there was no way you got tire spin and the rpm versus ground speeds matched the regular runs.
Any slippage is minimal and only occurring right at bottom.
