Default Which gear should I dyno my car in?

I plan on putting my car on a dyno next weekend.. and was wondering which gear I should test it in?

Auto rear end with a 5 speed w58 transmission (originally automatic).

I believe it's supposed to be in the gear that's closest to a 1:1 ratio, correct? Thanks in advance guys,

Allen

I'm excited to see what you put down and your setup, I'm going NA-T with a 67mm as well.
