Default Depends how the dyno is calibrated.
In general, if you can calibrate the dyno to measure properly, its better to do the pull in a lower gear, since dyno fans are not going to come close to simulating 100+ MPH winds. IMO, of course.

2nd, not enough cooling airflow in 4th. Use 3rd gear. It also has the added benefit of FATS data.
