So why does a higher numerical gear lower the dyno results?

It only throws it off by a couple horsepower. Dunno why, it just does.

I don't think you should be able to say what your car made w/out a dyno sheet. Besides, how else would you know? So from now on any "claims" MUST be accompanied by a dyno sheet, otherwise the mods should lock the thread.

too bad you're not a mod, lol. But I understand what you're saying. My topic of my dyno numbers is on here. Probably got moved to page 2 or 3 by now, but I backed all my numbers up with sheets.

Who really cares what dyno #'s people post? The Dyno is a tool used for tuning but this generation of internet racers has turned it into a way to brag...If your car makes 500rwhp but gets spanked by someone making 350rwhp at the track then you shouldn't be bragging.

I think sometimes people are over jealous because their car isn't as fast and don't have the money to do majr upgrades to. Believe me I've spent a lot of money on my car to get it like I want it. **** yeah I'm going to brag. I'm going to make sure people know what I've done to it. Ok, back to lunch now. lol
