Re: Do gears affect Dyno Numbers?

Technically when you step up your gears from say 3.55 to 4.10's your putting more torque to the rear wheel right? So wouldn't that increase your torque and HP on the Dyno?
Actually, I've heard the opposite.

A loss of 3 - 5 rwhp is what I've seen reported, but this is also in-line with simple dyno/car/engine variation from one day to another.

I've never seen anyone report a power/torque gain from lower (higher numerically) gears...
