The only chassis dyno in my area at the time I had the engine dyno'd would only handle 250 rwhp so I couldn't do it.

Unless chassis dyno setups are different than they used to be, it is tough to get a light weight high hp car to stay on the rollers even with chains or straps and even tougher to get an accurate, consistent reading.

BTW friction does increase with load. Sorry I can't offer a pat formula, there are too many variables.
