Sorry for the ignorant question, but why are all the manuals doing pulls in 3rd gear, which has a transmission ratio of 1.63:1?

I thought you wanted to dyno as close to 1:1 as possible, which for the manuals is in 5th gear?

Us auto folk don't have a 1:1 gear; 4th and 5th are about equally on either side of it.

I can understand if you have a car that's speed limited at 113mph that you probably hit the limiter in the higher gears, but is that still the case for those limited to 155?
