Depending on the transmission (3spd, 4spd, 5spd) they'll test in the 1:1
gear. In my case that is 4th. (5th is overdrive) I had asked that when I
took my truck to the Dyno shop here in Austin a few weeks ago. They stated
that the rearend gears don't make any difference at all.
And yes, I changed the sprockets on my BMX bike more times than my dad would
have liked. ;)

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.
