What gear were you in when you saw 140 on the SG?

The reason I ask is because I imagine to get any kind of accurate hp rating on the SG, you would have to be WOT in 4th gear on a 5-speed or in 5th gear on a 6-speed since those gears are typically 1:1 ratio and that's how it's done on a dyno.

If I was to take my Cube and put it on a dyno and floor it in 1st gear, I bet it would read close to 300hp even though my little 1.8 only produces a max of 122hp.
