Default Tuning question

Im pretty new to tuning but I purchased hptuners for my 06z and have made some small changes, so far so good. Im ready to get my afr dialed in on the street before I head to the dyno. My question is, can you accurately log afr in a gear thats not 1:1, for instance 2nd gear?

yes you can but you wont have the same load on the car as you would in high gear. If you race your car and log it will be through every gear that you hit and then you can see how consistent it is anyway

So I would probably be better off in fourth gear it sounds like. I won't be able to dial it in as close as I thought before the dyno if thats the case, thats some serious speed going wot through 4th.
