Well the Day is approaching this Saturday September 10th I will Dyno my car. I didn't get a chance to install the Headers and High flow cats due to lack of time but I look at it as a good thing like that we can know before and after results next time I Dyno my car and have the headers installed. I think I am going to Dyno it in 4th since that is the 1:1 ratio. Up to what speed will I have to take the car in the dyno because I know after a certain speed the needle WILL go past redline and I dont want that. Should I put it in 4th with TC off and "S" on and just floor it?

4th gear.. You have to do a slow roll to get to 4th once in 4th You have to be careful not to let the car down shift. I forget the top speed in 3rd gear. Before you can step down hard.

If you have a tech that knows what he is doing you should have no problems. They should be the one doing the run.

Will weight in my trunk affect end results? Just wondering if I would take out my subs.

It shouldn't. Since the car isn't actually moving, any inertial effect of extra mass in the car will not exist. The only masses that will effect dyno results are rotating masses located in the drivetrain.

On a dyno, no, on the road, yes. The reason is that on a dyno, the car is stationary, and is accelerating fixed mass rollers. On the road, the road is stationary, and the car is accelerating it's own mass.
