What gear have most of you guys dynoe'd your cars in? I did mine in fourth everytime I have gone, but today my friend did it in third and fourth and third made 4-5 more WHP. It seems to me that you should dyno it in the gear it makes the most power in. This has probably been talked about a billion times, but so what we should do it again it's fun.

 

On the ITRs, it's usually done in 3rd gear but, I've seen ppl using 4th gear as well.

 

i have always made more power in 4th. 4th is more of a 1:1 ratio.

 

You're not "making more power".

 

well it sure as **** shows it to me .as far as syno purposes in hondas, 4th is better, i have proved that over and over again .
but i dont know much , i have only dynoed on those hp calculators.

 

gearing has nothing to do with hp.

 

like i said before , i nver really dynoed, just play with the hp calc

 

4th is the closest one i guess, but mine was dyno with 3rd

 

I've done fourth gear pulls every time. Like mentioned above its closer to 1:1.

 

Sorry, I'm confused.

but in the other thread you say:

What did you get the trophy for? Calculating your hp on a program?

 

i was joking. its apparent i dont know anything ,. so i just said i never dynoed and only played with hp calcs

 

On a boosted car you will make more power in 4th gear because in a higher gear you will boost slightly more. I have seen a 5-8whp gain when dynoing in 4th on my JRSC setup.
However you should be looking at the whp, trq, and AF curve rather then the peak numbers.
However running the car in 3rd is will give a cleaner reading because in higher gears the dyno will start to pick up interference and the curve will start to degrade and because choppy.
