Hi Trace,

Although it will prob be taken up somewhere near to redline it should only ever be on the rollers in either 3rd gear if its a five speed or 4th gear if its a six speed so doesn't actually ever do a top speed run.

hope this helps

When I had my first dyno done a few weeks ago I thought it was all about top end speed. But I was wrong. Shaky is right mine was put in 3rd an taken up the rev range. I gatherd it's all about Ftlb tourqe and bhp as a poised to top end. Hope this helps
