4th as it should be the 1:1 gear...but often times they require you to dyno in 3rd. It is always up to the guys running the dyno and they will be the one in the car, so unless they ask you...but if they do, see if they will do 4th.

Say they do it in 3rd, any idea how much less power I'd make vs doing it in 4th?
