Choosing Best Gear for Dyno Pull, Nissan 370Z Options

[JoKeRkId613]

I'm going to dyno my car this weekend and I was wondering what gear is best to use for the 3 pulls. I read somewhere that the best one to use is the one closest to 1:1 ratio. In my case, this appears to be 5th gear (see below). This was the only information I was able to find so I wanted to get confirmation from one of you guys here. I just want to make sure I get my money's worth and don't waste a pull on a gear that won't put out as much power. I could be skeptical because 5th gear seems kinda high when other cars I've seen are usually 3th or 4th gear pulls. Then again, those only had 4 or 5-speeds. This one has 7. Yes, my car is automatic... lol.

1st: 4.924
2nd: 3.194
3rd: 2.043
4th: 1.412
5th: 1.000
6th: 0.862
7th: 0.771
Reverse: 3.972
Final drive ratio: 3.357

Manuals are more fun. This, to me, is the most important aspect of any car.

IN the real world, it doesn't matter what car you have, can afford, etc.... If it isn't manual, it isn't serious. Then again, we do live in a new age. I felt the same way about djing. If it wasn't vinyl, it was whack, but people try to convince me otherwise. Not really any skill in autos, which is another important matter. Imagine having a car you tune to drive on it's own. And then people competed in who can tune the vehicle to run on auto pilot better? It's silly, right? You can only take pride in what you can do with your body, which to me, means "Sport".

But OP, if you like it like that, then that's all that matters.
