Default Gears and Dynoing

Just curious, I haven't dynoed, but how would having gears skew the results, if any? Do they just put in a correction factor? Don't have gears yet, but I'm curious if it would cause problems.

I just dynoed after having 4.10's put in. The hp/tq #'s were a bit lower than they would have been with the stock 3.42's. There's no actual loss in power just in that measured by the dyno due to the lower gears.

So gears DO skew dyno results?

yes, gears will affect dyno #'s
But it also depends on the type of dyno being used

Hi Ed :seeya How's the car feel from the old buttomometer (seat of the pants). That's a pretty radical jump, from 3.42's, your car has to ROCK with those 4.10's! :cheers:

You ain't just a-woofin', man! 4.10's are the ultimate butt-kickin' mod! :smash: :thumbs: 3.42's are a distant memory. :D
