Why? Aren't you supposed to dyno in the gear that is closest to a 1:1 ratio but not into overdrive. The 5th gear in the 6 speed is 1.00.

Numbers look good for 5psi. Blue couplers, not my style, but congrats on the build!

The 1:1 ratio needs to used on intertia dynos such as the DynoJet. On Load Based Dynos like the Dyno Dynamics and Mustang, the gear choice does not affect peak power so most of us 4th gear to keep the roller speeds down. We've done many 4th and 5th gear tests and the peak numbers are the same. Hope that helps.

Oh ok, I didn't know there was a difference in that respect.

Do you have to input that information into the dyno for it to make the right calculations?

Correct. Lots of 5.0 GT owners were dynoing in 4th and making near 400whp. They then got a bunch of them to properly dyno in 5th and the average was more like 360whp. It matters.

Tuning out the top just takes time and each Z will all be different based on the mods done.

Yes and no, it matters on what type of dyno you are running the car on.

Why was Z1 turning out such choppy tunes previously? Just didn't take the time, or has there been more advancement in understanding the PCM as of late?
