Default Gear and dyno question

I was thinking about this at work the other day, Will a higher rear gear ratio manipulate dyno numbers or is there a correction factor when setting your car up on the dyno? I honestlly dont know ive never had a car on the dyno so if its a stupid question just let me slide on this one lol.

There's no correction, and yes it will change your numbers a slight bit.

when i had my car dyno'd they have a gear ratio factor you enter. so im pretty sure there is some kind of formula for gear ratio to get acurate rwhp numbers.
