Any other gear under that and your multiplying the actual HP the engine is producing.

I'm sorry, but you have no idea what you're talking about.
Power is a function of force, distance, and time. We can rearrange this to be force and velocity as velocity is a function of distance and time.
Because of this you coulddyno in any gear and the only reason there would be any difference I numbers would be due to the greater angular acceleration of the drive train in lower gears, resulting in lower whp numbers.
I can go into detail if you wish but its basic physics and probably not necessary.
