No, you can't do that for a couple of reasons; there's no front diff lock,
and secondly being a TORSEN, there's no center diff lock, so the car is
immobile, if you tried to measure off the rear wheels with the front axles
removed.  BTW...there's no "regular" dyno per say...in this case we're
discussing a chassis dyno, but most high performance engine development is
done on an engine dyno (e.g. the engine is out of the car and mounted on a
special stand with all plumbing, electricals, etc.).

cya!
