AWD4Kicks dynos his car with the transfer case off. Most people on here do that. With all wheels on a dyno you have a better understanding of all the drivetrain loss, but you can still tune just the same on a 2 wheel dyno. Darryl Hudson also tunes on 2 wheels, at least he did before he got to the point where the wheels were slipping ON the dyno.

You need the viscous coupling eliminator (VCE) to prevent damage to the trans. I beleive without it the constant slipping, since there is no power to the rear tires, smoke the fluid in the coupling. Darryl has one and I'm pretty sure Kicks does too.
You then run the fwd tires on the dyno. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

Welded center diff does the same thing, but if you don't have it or a VCE don't try a two wheel dyno.
