'glide...what gear on the chassis dyno?

jon volk · 09-15-2009, 12:46 PM

Turbo guys running a glide. Do you usually dyno it 1st or 2nd? Seems like 2nd would make for some pretty high wheel speed. Im used to using 3rd gear in a manual tranny which seems to be around the same as the first gear in a glide generally speaking.

What do you typically do?

2nd gear. You need to be 1:1 for any kind of accurate results. Why are you worried about wheel speed?

Im not worried about it, just compared to usually doing alot of cars in 3rd I didnt know if it would make a diff.

Should be done 1:1 which is second gear in a PG and 3rd in a THxxx, 4th gear in a manual 6 speed etc...

High gear (2nd) for me, I would think it would blow the tires off if I did it in 1st....

I always thought you put it in "R" for race.

I always thought you were supposed to put in "R" for RACE.

Here is my video in second gear. Doesnt take long when it makes 1200+rwhp on a mustang dyno LOL

Probably should have had the antiroll bar connected!!
