I'd just say that the descriptions you give of the dyne curves in your first post seem to agree with your track finding I.e
One with highest peak power only works on tracks with very long straights
One with most low-end, good on twisty tracks put runs out of puff
I'm guessing the one with least peak hp, probably still has mid-range that holds on better longer than the engine above even though it has less peak power and just proves that the spread of power is the most important factor.
All I'm saying is 'probably' with all three graphs in front of them a good engine tuner could probably point to exactly why they behave differently on track. Also why John at force compares engines by a figure based on a calculation of the area under the curve so it takes into account all areas of an engines power delivery
