why would one be going through the gears during a dyno run?
I assume that with a chassis dynamometer, you'd want to be in a 1:1 gear in the transmission, and that this would be an upper gear.
To get there, you'd need to upshift.
Yup. I just found this: "Drivetrain losses vary according to gear selection (testing should usually be performed in the transmission's 1:1 gear to minimize this factor)"
