Message to be as close to a 1:1 gear ratio as Dynojet mathematically creates a horsepower number based on mass (which is the known weight of the rollers) and acceleration (how fast the car is accelerating the known weight).

F=mass

From force (F), we can calculate horsepower.

Dyno the car in 2nd gear, and acceleration (a) goes way up, causing force (F) to go way up.

So by dynoing the car in the gear closest to the 1:1 gear ratio, we eliminate any acceleration advantage or disadvantage caused by the transmission, which gives us unskewed whp numbers.

On other dynos that use load cells the gear does not matter, so you are correct in regards to this particular dyno.
