Dyno'd " Project Sucker Punch"

It has to do with the inherent frictional loss of gear sets. The larger the ratio multipier, ethier up or down, the greater the frictional loss. We always dyno in 4th with a 6 speed because that gear is straight through or 1 to 1. Any other gear would produce lower numbers. Gear set frictional losses are also proportional to the torque being transmitted. The differential gear set is the major part of driveline loss. The same goes for rear gearing as dynoing in different gears only slightly effects the out come. For example going from 3.42s to 4.10s might only change things 5-6%, but the jump to 4.56s might lose you 8%. That might sound small, however 8% of 400rwhp is 32hp lost. This is all a lot of ricer math, but the theory is good.

FYI you can skew the numbers so easy on a mustang dyno. You can easily make them read 100 hp over actual and 100 hp lower...set the weight wrong watch numbers change, change the weather station...watch numbers change....set smoothing to zero watch numbers change.....set smoothing to 100 and watch numbers change

now on the DJ the numbers arent as easy to Skew

on a MD they have a DJ setting so it gives off the same reading as it would on a DJ

My dyno has several variables I can change to alter final numbers.
As well as that DJ correction factor.

Fwiw. Engine dyno. LQ9 with 224 cam made 460hp a long time ago.

Power is torque multiplied by angular speed. Lower gearing will lower the angular speed, therefore lowering the recorded power. I'm sure there are many more variables in your case, but this is what I have learned while getting my engineering degree. I don't have the degree yet, so take my words with a grain of salt. Lol

As I mentioned earlier the tuner had stated that a sime gear change from I.E. 4:10 to 4:56. On a similar setup was roughly 45-55 RWHP, I asked the tuner to " explain " how tha worked but " your " words made more sense lol he stated something similar to that, but I learn better by reading not just listening lol..... Kerrige I think we were spinning it to 6400, 6600 maybe..... I cannot upload the dyno runs from my phone, but I can text them through PM, I took the run of the screen for data purposes, not just watch the trucks me noise going no where, text me your numbers and I will send the vid to anyone that wants to see it

A 5x11" magnaflow will do you good. Or as its better known the 22" big body magnaflow. Quiet on cruise and loud at wot.

Do you have one of these mufflers on your truck?? I have been looking into changing my truck over to a magnaflow system.
