I have a task for you. Go on the interstate, put your car in forth gear, at 2000 rpm floor the car and dont let out until you have made a full rpm band pull. Also, time it for me, if it takes less than 30 seconds Ill pay pal you 10 bucks. Then do it in third, time this, and tell me which you would rather do all fucking day long.
OMG COMPUTERS COMPUTE CALCULATIONS OF MULTIPLICATION!?!!?!?!
You can dynotune in 3rd all day long to get your timing, a/f, etc correct. But when a car has a 4th 1:1 and you want to show numbers you dyno it in that gear. Trust me I've been around dynos long enough to know this. I've had my share of dynos in plenty of different shops and operators. Any of them will tell you for accurate hp numbers you do 1:1 gear. Doing it in 3rd will make your numbers lower
