The reason I was suggesting 4th is that is the gear they use for the dyno numbers, but yes you would be going extremely fast for the street if you did a full 4th gear pull, on the dyno my car red lined at 154mph in fourth.

Fourth for a dyno pull?I think 3rd is where most guys do dyno jet or mustang dyno pulls, in a manual anyway.

PS I've got an aeroforce on it's way, sounds like a cool gauge. To bad I have another 3 months of winter to suffer through.

Not true. Any performance shop that knows what they are doing with our cars will perform the dyno pulls in 4th due to the 1:1 ratio.

I never knew that. Maybe they did mine in fourth I remember the tech said the wheel speed was like 140mph on the dyno.

4th is good for 140 or so at 6,000 rpms if you have 3.55 gears. My 4th runs out about 125 though. It would be cool if it printed out a graph with rpms and hp just like a dyno.

It's very useful, fun to play with and so simple. Wish I had though of it. It will even read and clear dtc codes. The only think it could use is more contrast between the numbers and background color, but it's still very readable even on a bright day.
