Agree it doesn't matter for comparison, but you also have to assume that the dyno operator didn't adjust the drive train loss percentage.
Its just a number lol...i just referenced bhp to help the OP out.

Everyone likes to use their own form of measurement.

Just like the rest of the world asks us, why do we use US imperial units versus metric which logically makes more sense since its in power of 10 instead of random measurements
