Yes, dynoing in 3rd gear gives a mechanical advantage but it's not 1:1
We always dyno in 4th gear on a 6spd as it's closest to 1:1.
You are correct though--if you baselined in 4th you shouldn't do a test run in 3rd as it's not apples to apples.
Correct again that dynos are not absolutes; they are measuring devices to see gains or losses from run to run. That is why the delta is the important factor to look at, not the numbers themselves.
175-185 baseline is a bit conservative. Strange on that one. Our in-house Mustang AWD dyno reads about 185-190whp baseline on a 2.7T manual in 4th gear.
Many thanks for the respect Cable.
Let's all remain on the same page, dynoing in 4th gear on a 6spd manual, and looking at whp numbers.
Best,
Jeremy
