BHP is essentially a by product of torque (ie work done).

Hub packs are often the most accurate, as well as engine dyno's.

Its the space under the line thats important. if you only have 240bhp, but have alot of space under the line, then its going to have a better power band, and therefore be quicker than a car with 240bhp and not alot of space under the line (narrow power band).
