The problem with block 005 is that the only useful measurements are speed and RPM.

Just do a full 3rd gear run measuring the block of your choice and calculate your FATS based on an RPM range of 4000 rpm to 6200 rpm. This is substantiated by rktskicar's link. 6-speeds usually use 4300 rpm as their basis.
