What's interesting is that using 4th, unless compensated for in some way, the 7AT will show higher torque numbers (and therefore higher HP) due to the reduced ratio in the rear end and 4th gear.

Hmm...interesting, but, not that it matters much. Comparative gains is what I'm interested in, which before and after dyno runs is good enough.
