Default Rolling Road Session What Gear?

Rolling road sessions should they be in 4th gear or 3rd gear or does it matter?

Just my mate has had is done on a dastek rolling road and it was run up in 3rd gear.

When I had mind done at interpro it was done in 4th.
Just wondered if it made any difference.

Wouldn't you want whichever gear is closer to a 1:1 ratio ?

Was told the car should be run up in 4th gear to get an accurate figure

and 3rd gear if you want it to read slightly higher

how true this is i dont know

..well my saff was run up in 3rd and recorded 325bhp at 1.4bar....BUT in 4th it creeps up to 1.6bar...so i'd say 4th is reality.

You can't generalise. The gear that is used, should be whatever is suggested by the RR manufacturer.

Dyno Dynamics say 3rd for most 5-speed transmissions.
