You are taking chassis dyno readings as an absolute. They are not engine dyno and should not be taken as such.

Different day, different chassis, different set of wheels and tires all play as variables.

One of my ex car had a 40hp at the wheels advantage to my friend’s car (same as mine) but turns out that we accelerated at the same rate and end up at the same speed upto 200km/h...

The quarter mile trap speed is a much better indicator to gauge engine power delta between different cars, not chassis dyno.
