On an untuned 7AT, it will hit the limiter in 5th, so they have to dyno in 4th.
True, but I did mine on a Mustang Dyno and my numbers were nowhere where they should be. I need to get mine tuned already so I can do a 5th gear dyno. And as for less grunt, you want that. You wanna see exactly what the motor is putting out, not what the tranny's helping you get to the ground.
