The 1:1 ratio needs to used on intertia dynos such as the DynoJet. On Load Based Dynos like the Dyno Dynamics and Mustang, the gear choice does not affect peak power so most of us 4th gear to keep the roller speeds down. We've done many 4th and 5th gear tests and the peak numbers are the same. Hope that helps.
