At -3.8 my pyrometer still said I need more negative camber. These McPherson strut cars basically need all the static negative camber they can get.

The problem is that's just simply not how you conduct testing. There's too many variables. That's why legitimate brake manufactures run tests on brake dynos dictated by the SAE where you can control...

I'll let OP comment but that's usually not needed. No one does it on the really popular K20/K24 hybrid. It's a good example, because it's 2.0L heads with a overbored 2.4L crankcase.

Correct. People mix this up here all the time. The "indicated" gear is simply an internal calculation based on engine speed, vehicle speed, final drive ratio, and approximate tire diameter.
