Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order.

I'm looking at my old dynojet graph and I can't recall what gear was used but I can see that it topped out at 128mph.
Leading evidence: 'Use but i can see' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run numbers' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm looking at my old dynojet graph and I can't recall what gear was used but I can see that it topped out at 128mph. I think it's 3rd. 6spd manual, fyi.
5th is our closest 1 to 1 but most dyno operators will dyno you in 4th and adjust for it. Top speed in 5 is 160ish which is really spinning the dyno unnecessarily fast.
My recent dyno pull was in 5th because it was late and we were all in a hurry to get out of there. With my raised rev limiter I spun the dyno to 162 which is not necessary. 4th would be just a good to get a smooth pull.
Yeah, just came home from some errans. 126 with the top down.
So if 4th isn't 1:1 then 3rd is? Does 4th give me less hp to the wheels than 3rd or vice versa?
just the cat bypass pipes. I have had them on since the beginning of spring. No spacers on the 2ndary O2 sensor and the only CEL I have thrown for the cat was the night after my dyno pulls as I was pulling into my street nearly 3 months after they were installed.
It causes me no grief that once in a blue moon I have to read the code and clear the CEL light with a basic code scanner.
These numbers are depressing considering that's a "normal" 3.6 when comparing to what my 3.4 made at the wheels. (246 I think) More and more non-X51 3.6 cars making 300whp these days which I think is an outstanding number.
SOOOOOO - whats the fastest you have had your 996 to ?
that chart says 180+ (saw that and thought......yea OK)
I posted a 154 on the speedo once - I have no desire to do it again, but I like 100 A LOT !
I just performed a test on my way home and I couldn't get 128 mpg in any gear. With a light throttle the best I could get was in the 30's in 6th gear....
Ooh, love those CHARTS, makes me want to build a POWERPOINT, ha
Paul996, your car's ripping some nice numbers, good to know what it's capable of....
I've seen 145 in 6th still pulling strong, but was just running out of room.
2nd is a great auto-x gear since it will take you to 70 before banging the rev limiter, and driving canyon roads in anger 3rd is all you need.
Kind of like golf, where you really only need a few clubs.
