We used a water brake dyno and started the test with full throttle under max load, then you slowly decrease the load and record the info as the rpms climbed until you reach your redline.
The small block circle track engines were the nastiest, we spun them dam near twice as fast as the big blocks.

I used to work at a speed shop tubbing out cars and doing chassis work. Next door to us was Kinetics (Michigan) and whenever they had the dyno running it would make my skin crawl. I dropped in to check it out when they were running the dyno on some hydroplane motors and I almost shit myself when they started to load the motor. It scared me. Even though the operator was sitting on the other side of the bullet proof glass and sand filled wall, I couldn't get out of there fast enough. If you ran a dyno you have balls of steel
