I don't have a 5-speed, but you generally want to dyno a car in the gear closest to a 1:1 ratio ... that would be 4th on most vehicles.

4th would be the best to pull the best tq curve and get the most accurate reading

I use 3rd. I don't have enough room on the road to do a 4th gear pull.

1:1 is not required on a dynodynamics. Curve will be the same regardless of the gear used. We use 3rd on 5speed and 4th on six speed to keep the onboost time reasonable.

Higher gear should make more power, because you're making the engine do more work.
