4th gear is normally as close to a direct drive in terms of ratios as you can get, so most good dyno operators will know to do a final power run in 4th gear. Hope you get a good result!

1:1 drive is ideally what you're aiming for. 4th or 5th is usually used because of that. If it's high powered, it'll be 5th to help control wheelslip though. The higher the gear, the more data samples can be taken from the run too.

The more important point is that the NEXT time it's dyno'd it's done in the same gear, under the same conditions (type pressures etc)
