I would think the dyno can calculate torque / Hp in any gear, since the dyno always knows engine RPM's vs rear wheel speed, thus knowing overall gearing, whether you're in 3rd, 4th, or 5th. I would guess that anything other than 1:1 in the tranny will probably lose more HP through the tranny, and I also think you don't want the car geared down too low such that it will spin the rear wheels on the dyno.
