Choosing Best Gear for Dyno Pull, Nissan 370Z Options

[JoKeRkId613]

I'm going to dyno my car this weekend and I was wondering what gear is best to use for the 3 pulls. I read somewhere that the best one to use is the one closest to 1:1 ratio. In my case, this appears to be 5th gear (see below). This was the only information I was able to find so I wanted to get confirmation from one of you guys here. I just want to make sure I get my money's worth and don't waste a pull on a gear that won't put out as much power. I could be skeptical because 5th gear seems kinda high when other cars I've seen are usually 3th or 4th gear pulls. Then again, those only had 4 or 5-speeds. This one has 7. Yes, my car is automatic... lol.

1st: 4.924
2nd: 3.194
3rd: 2.043
4th: 1.412
5th: 1.000
6th: 0.862
7th: 0.771
Reverse: 3.972
Final drive ratio: 3.357

It's your choice man...personally, I love my car and don't hate the transmission, but if I could have the exact same car with a manual I'd take it in a heartbeat. My next car will definitely be stick.

Having said that, some auto transmissions are pretty good, like the one in the current MX-5.
