Re: dyno poll (ChargedSi99)
always do it in 4th , i have proof that my car made more power in 4th, and actually got into an arguement with the guys at the Dyno contest at NOPI, and proved em wrong , they said 3rd is better. . ..i told em i was pretty sure i knew my car better then that . . . . that got me a trophy at the contest too .

Re: dyno poll (Dr Pooface)
It doesnt matter what gear. You can run it in any gear including reverse 
, You are just getting an idea what the car is putting down and the tuning improvements.
I usually run it in 3rd gear.
1st and 2nd goes to fast
4th puts more load on the motor (especially if your flooring it from 2500-3000rpm)
Reverse never tried it (Doesnt reverse make that "Vrrrr" noise like something is broke or is about to break?)

Re: dyno poll (Downey)
That's what I've heard too, but then there's the 4.4 final gear reduction which totally throws trying to get close to 1:1 out the window. I'm pretty sure the dyno does a 1:1 calculation already based on roller speed and engine RPM.
But anyway here's an old dyno of mine ran in 3rd and 4th gear, no major differences.

Re: dyno poll (gsrtyper)
No it was pretty dissapointing actually. That was AEM CAI, DC JDM header, Carsound cat, Comptech exhaust. It had a nice midrange but definitely wasn't the dyno I wanted. I've since replaced all that with better stuff, now making 187whp on stock internals after cam/fuel tuning was done.

Re: dyno poll (jg)
it will only vary at most a few hp between gears, but typically you want to run at a 1 to 1 ratio for better "power to the ground" numbers. I've seen vids of Porsches running in 6th gear!!!
But like people have said, it puts a LOT more load on your engine
