3rd gear vs. 5th gear? People are dynoing these cars pretty much at random gear wise. They should be done in 5th since it's 1:1. Since our cars are low powered, it's probably just fine to do it in 3rd. It really doesn't matter because you really shouldn't be comparing dyno results from different dynos. You are just looking at the difference from run to run on the same dyno.

I think vivid pretty much did everything you could possibly ask a vendor to do. The only thing left might be a run at the strip for times and trap speeds. Overall, the gains are still pretty good and about what you would expect. I don't see why there is still drama.
