It's no diferent than using a pickup on the spark plug lead in terms of how power and torque are measured, which is via the load cells in the dyno. BHP is a calculation based on torque, not the other way round.

Terrific figures......

Rolling roads vary, temperatures may vary which greatly affect results, but those outputs look very high for an unmodded WR1.
