Test all you want but the facts are that the power does decrease as the motor gets hotter. The greatest influence on lap times & revs is not down to outright power it's tyres!
Do a test getting the motor hot squire your data then pit and quickly change to another set of tyres and your data will again give you similar results even with the motor quickly up to the higher temp.
The fact that lap times are better and rpm higher when the motor is warm is down to greater corner speed carried due to better work rom the tyres.
I can assure you 2 dyno tests recorded with 45 and 65 deg engine temp will provide a lower reading for the higher temp.
You are of course entitled to your own opinion after all what do I know? Only been around karts for 45 years!
