There are calculators online if you know your weight to show your RWHP.
the track is better for how it performs. doesn't it measure it's ability to slice through the air and maintain traction. while, the dyno represents a raw set of numbers for the specific set of conditions ?
dyno numbers don't always indicate performance but rather it's ability to produce performance, the rest of the chassis and driver will determine the performance of the combination. engine, car and driver (ooppss.. that's almost a trademarked term.. gotta watch it - no offence accidentprone) are what make performance.
