I thought the correct gear to do it was in 5th for the 1:1 ratio?

Also, 4th puts less wear on the motor... mine was not very happy going 170 mph on a 98* F 90% humidity day just to try and see 2-3 more lbft of peak torque  Anyway, the difference is really small in output between 4th and 5th -- literally only a few whp/tqs. You can dyno in either just fine, and get accurate and virtually identical values, although technically 5th would be the correct one in terms of gear ratio.
