Dyno Pull 3rd or 4th gear?

[kouasupra]

I'm thinking about taking my NSX to the dyno this weeken. Now since I have a 93 NSX (5-speed). I would assume that it will be in 3rd gear right? or 4th

4th gear is closest to 1:1 at .967, I would recommend 4th for accuracy.

I agree. 4th has always been the gear of choice at my dyno runs.

Another reason to use 4th (for any car) is there will be less of a chance for wheel spin, thus having a lower bhp readout. 5th or 6th works, but do you really want to be doing 170+ mph in order to have a full graph?

I guess we save the 170mph days for the Interstate! :biggrin:
