The couple of dyno operators I know all rely on EGT readings on their dynos. That measure's the engine's reaction to applied load in the metric that matters most. I don't care how great my A:F ratio is if the exhaust temps are 1300 degrees. If you want to put EGT probes on your motor, an industry leader is: Exhaust Gas Technologies in anaheim CA. They sell them to Kenny Bernstein and other racers you have heard of, but also snowmobiles.

Watts to horsepower: 746 watts is one HP, which is something like 33,000 ft/lbs/hr.
