Im sure the tuner that is running the dyno on your car should know whats best for your car with his dyno.

You normally want to operate a chassis dyno with the car in the gear closest to a 1:1 ratio between speed of the input shaft and output shaft of the transmission.

For us that, I would think most dyno operators would want you to do your pulls in 5th gear, which is, I believe, about 1.085:1.

4th. all datalogs and dyno's and s*** are done in 4th. Pull from 3k to redline. If you do a pull in 5th you are loading the motor up too much.
