Prolly just inexperience with this car...

...or that.

You do it in 5th gear because of the 1:1 ratio. That's the one that will give you direct engine power.

Probably not... in all honesty, my first dyno was in 3rd gear and I was told because that was the 'power gear'. I never laughed so hard on the way home...

Jordo!

That is true, but you'll get the same info with less stress on the motor in 4th. 5th gear has less grunt than 4th, so the motor is doing more of the work. On dynojets, 5th gear dynos read about 1% higher than 4th, but otherwise, it will work fine.

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.
