Would need RPM-based graphs from both in order to pretend-overlay like you did. Yes I am pointing out that even if your dyno operator screwed up like this one, and gave you a speed-based dyno sheet instead of the correct rpm-based, the fact that your gearing does not match his would invalidate a straight comparison of mph vs power.

Well, I thought this was a forum and not a PhD dissertation judging committee, hence my use of the word "hacked"

I understand this is completely invalid in a scientific sense, but if you insist on this level of accuracy, we won't be able to converse about much—my car is an A8, there is no way I can produce apples to apples test data against an M6 car, and in very few cases do we have perfectly comparable cars under the exact same conditions anyway.
