I'd love to understand what you have done...

Running longer gearing like this doesn't "generate less horsepower". In fact, it may be about the same, but more load. The increased efficiency effect is coming from lowering the rpms. The less the exhaust makes a pop, the less fuel is being burned.
You well know this craig!
