Fred,
I have never been great at reading graphs,
but the diagonal line is airspeed, not HP corrected for prop efficiency. That is
the vertical line. Or am I wrong??
How do you do this if you have an
alternative engine and have no idea of what your HP is? It seems that you are
guessing about the prop efficiency and I would have to do the same for HP. Perhaps
if someone gets a FP drag number for the Lancair Legacy FG, I could work
backwards and find the HP?

Make some careful test
flights and follow the instructions in the attached paper, and you can make a
reasonably good estimate.
