Alright i was talking to a "dynojet" operator and he told me that the best pull should be on 4th gear...however to be honest most of the dyno sheets that i have seen are from 3rd gear...so my question is what is the best gear use?


ps...btw the car is a 00 max.

 

not an expert but it may be different for every car...i believe its which ever gear is closest to 1:1 ratio

 

Maybe the dynos you have seen are on autos cause I know for manual its 4th gear.

 

auto its 3rd gear, manual (on both maxima 5spds and 6spds) its 4th gear

 

I use 2nd on my auto.

 

thanks...that`s what i need it to know.

 

does it matter that much? I've dyno'd 3rd and 4th on mine

 

i dont know if it matters that much, but i dynoed in third and then in 4th rite after, and there was only a difference of about 1 or 2 hp and tq... but maybe that was b/c my car wasnt running correctly and my ks was bad...

 

I've dyno'd 4th and 3rd before as well, and yes the HP difference isnt much, however what I did notice is that it moved the powerband. I forgot which way, either towards the left or right, haha. This was over a year ago for the 1st time I ever dynod so I dont recall
