Ok, so its time to get some numbers for my s/c setup on my automatic cavy. Of course, there's always the problem of downshifting into lower gears. A quick search revealed:
1) Put trans in third gear.
Slowly accelerate to around 63 or 65 mph.
Ensure your in third gear.
Ensure RPMs are over 3800.
2) Did it through 2 gears , starting about 30-40 in 2nd gear
So, I'm not really sure on what to do, I think the dyno ppl will probably have some clue, but I'd rather get more opinions and experience from actual JBO members.
So what do you guys recommend?

My recommendation is..................Don't dyno
j/k
Car is for Sale!Supercharger kit is for sale!
find a shop that has a tech2 or other scan tool that can lock the trans into a gear , 3rd prefered
when i dyno'd mine they did it from a 30-40 in 2nd gear , shifted into 3rd then to the speed gov limit
When I went, I revved up into third gear (with the shifter on 3) and held it at about 3000.
They get the dyno ready and you let her fly from there.
I wonder where you got that info from.
Anyway. If you do step one. IT SHOULDN'T down shift into 2nd.

Thats how I did it my first dyno session.
Either way will work fine.
