Default 3rd or 4th gear for dyno pulls... STFA shows no consensus, lol...
4th seems to be the closest to 1:1 (.967) with 3rd being 1.23:1 so almost 30% multiplier in torque....

I mean really what matters to me is the change experienced on the same dyno (2 miles from my house) I just want a measurement that can be compared is all...

My gut says 4th, but I seriously doubt this local dyno has enough cooling to let the car run up to 120 or whatever...

3rd gear. Not enough cooling for 4th. Can also compare 3rd gear dyno to FATS run.

Time it takes to go from 4200-6500 rpm at WOT from 3kpm-7krpm, generally in 3rd gear

thought it was 4th so it's 1:1 in the transmission?
