@bo6arif I would imagine it would for lower gears, but I'm not positive. Apparently some dynos give you the ability to enter your gearing, or adjust automatically to your gearing, or you do the test in your transmission's 1:1 gear. Never used a dyno though, but mathematically it would seem lower gears would show higher torque.
Idk how, you seem really smart. and can make sense out of it. Seems you wouldn't have trouble finding a job at any automaker or race team or Corporation. I'd like to have the math skills to do what you're doing. Mechanical Engineering I'm assuming? I can barely get through Algebra let alone Calc and stuff.
@mastrefix It probably would have been more accurate for me to say lb-ft, though the units are interchangeable since they are multiplied. I hear both used frequently in my courses; it's unfortunate everything couldn't be in N-m.
Nice video, but you use the metric system. Much easier.

i would like to see video on gear ratio

@remtheoneilo watch my video called "car gears" you can search for it on my channel, or on my menu. :)

Can you please explain how a Torsen differential works. They are found on race cars and the new Boss 302. Thanks

So does that mean that installing a higher gear ratio gives you more torque on the dyno?

@bo6arif~ yes of course, there will be more torque at the wheels in a lower gear than in a higher gear.

@JCDC5R That'd be nice! Job applications have been disappointing thus far, to say the least.

So if I have a Jeep that has 235 ft. lbs torque with a 4:1 gear ratio in 4WD low in first gear would that now be 940 ft. lbs. torque? That is ALOT!

@elitecssplayer Correct, with a very large force at a very low speed, it's very easy for the vehicle to move (even on large inclines, banks, etc...).

Loved the video. Just one minor stipulation, torque is measured in Pound-Feet, not Foot-Pounds.
