Hate to bash, but....

Horsepower should be nearly consistant with a change in gears. Horsepower is a measure of torque over time. A higher gear (lower numeric) will give you lower torque, but will apply that torque over many more revolutions. A lower gear (higher numeric) will give you higher torque, but it will be applied over less revolutions. It should about even out, give or take for mechanical drag
