Bernd, I think that the dyno takes this into account. They usually dyno in
3rd gear when it's a 1:1 ratio. If they can dyno in different gears I believe
they have to input the correct ratios of each gear so they can convert back
to 1:1 to show what the engine is actually producing.

That's what I think happens, but I could very easily be wrong about that.
