You're using True Airspeed to come up with that graph.  There are many other things associated with TAS than just the engine performance.  To accurately compare the two, you'd need the engine performance curves, and not climb or true airspeed curves.  The curves individually can be used to identify where superchargers change gears, but when comparing two different planes, they're not useful in the manner you're using them.
