Plus most chassis dyno's don't like gear shifts under power as the car tends to start moving about.

One of the single biggest advantages of the five speed is the difference in weight Radium noted, which is considerable (to the tune of about 100 lb. all in), and the dyno has no idea how much the car weighs.
I realize that. I was thinking about axle angularity effect on driveline loss?
