Trans gear for dyno pulls

Why do I always see recommended gear for dyno pulls as...
5th in a manual.
4th in a auto.
And that it should be done in the gear that is closest to 1:1.

While 5th gear for an Auto is closer to 1:1 than 4th gear.

You want to be closest to the crankshaft speed. When using other gears you are either multiplying torque or losing torque figures.

Yeah but isn't 0.86:1 closest to a 1:1 than 1.43:1 is?

OK thanks. Some of these things are hard to find by googling.:thumb:

I saw that one!
They never said what the tire was rated for.
