actually the fact it is electric could make it much easier. on some auto AWD subarus that use a similar AWD setup as your car there is a fuse you can pull to force the car to be FWD. maybe your fusion has something similar.

basically you just want the car to ignore the speed difference between front and rear wheel and not engage the clutches that send power to the rear wheels

EDIT: nef if your car is stock and you want a baseline skip the dyno and go to a drag strip and get some time slips. at the end of the day that's what really matters right? not how much power the machine shows (which can be totally wrong and will differ from machine to machine) but how much power it gets to the ground in the real world when you want to go fast

There is that yeah, I know that there is a fair amount of, I don't want to say a negative word like "contreversy" but "debate" about the merits of various dynos & set ups.

I'm also attending the SVTOA on track in July (With maybe 5K on the odometer so I'll be taking it REAL gentle :ph34r:) though it's a good, safe environment to learn what the car will do in an emergency situation.
