Where to hook zl1 on dyno?

Hello,
Just purchased a 2013 ZL1 and want to put it on a dyno. I have read about the rods on the rear for the magnetic ride getting bent or broken. I contacted the shop and they said that they have been hooking zl1's up on the control arms on the rear. Is this the best place to strap them to prevent damage?
Also, it is going to be on a mustang dyno, what numbers could I expect in stock form?
Thanks,
Travis

Hello Travis,

Not to take this thread in a different direction, but congrats on your 2013 ZL1! How are you enjoying it?

Don't forget the 1,500 mile break-in period.

I really like it so far, a much different car than my previous 2012 2SS/RS/45th anniversary. I purchased the car used. It now has 16k miles on it. I hope the break in was followed correctly, but have no way to know for sure.
