I realize that a dyno will read lower on horsepower after 3.73s are installed I am guessing that this is due to the higher gearing having an adverse impact on top speed...however I am curious does this gearing affect what the dyno will say for torque as well?

I've heard that before, but if you're using an inertia dyno I don't see how that would happen. It only measures how fast you spin the rollers. Maybe one of those engineer guys on here could help us with this.

The ring and pinion ratio has nothing to do with dyno results.
