I'm staying out of the drama surrounding EQ, as it doesn't bear further discussion except as rhetoric. The orignal custoemr in question made his decision, and most of us have moved on. I'd be happy to explain the situation sometime, but forums are not the place for specualtion and drama.
Regarding dynos not being able to spin up above 3rd gear, that's ridiculous. I'm not sure where that idea came from, but we *calibrate* the Mustang dyno by spinning it up to 160mph, then letting it coast down, just to account for parasitic losses in the rollers and the monitoring equipment. Now, that doesn't mean we spin every car up to 140+ to check for boost spikes, but we've never had reports of any spiking in the higher gears that I'm aware of, on multiple vehicles that see hard track duty. If someone comes in and is very concerned about extremely high-speed tuning, I'm sure something could be worked out, but you also need to remember that while we flow a ton of air towards the rad and IC, running for sustained/repeated periods at those kind of speeds are simply not something the car itself may be designed to do. If you feel like you'd like the car pushed to those extremes, we should be able to facilitate you, but how many times are you going to be doing hard 4th and 5th gear pulls at 100+ on the street?
