Gonna Dyno Saturday
I am gonna dyno my car this Saturday. I have never done it before and I am dealing with a reputable shop. Is there anything I should do before the dyno to get my car preped. Also what gear should they get the results from. I will post the numbers and charts when I get them. What are good numbers for a 5 speed with JWT and Cattman Y?? I am hoping for around 200 fwhp, is this about right?

You should get around low 200s whp. Normally, there is a spike of 3-5 hp at redline when the limiter is hit. The shop should "smooth" that spike out automatically. The 2ks we've done have put down low 190s stock.
Make sure you get results in electronic format so you can post them easily.
Good luck!

If you don't believe me do a search!
3rd gear will put down more HP because the transmission multiply's the power because of the gear ratio is off. The key is to dyno the car as close to 1.0 ratio, 4th gear is that gear.

Think most 5spds dyno'd in 3rd but if search says otherwise, I'm wrong. I dyno'd in 3rd and always have for comparison purposes.
Either way, if you are having the problem I am, it will show up in either gear.
