Unless you're also going to be doing some tuning there won't be much shifting needed. When you're making a dyno run the operator will usually take it to 4th and run it WOT until a specific RPM of he hits the rev limiter.

Be for-warned, if you're going for numbers Mustang Dynos normally read a bit low. Try not to get into to much dyno-sheet-racing.
