On modern day dynamometers horsepower is a calculated value. It's important
to remember the dyno measures torque and rpm and then from these
*calculates* horsepower.

Here's an interesting bit of trivia; below 5252 rpm any engine's torque will
always be higher than its horsepower, and above 5252 rpm any engine's
horsepower will always be higher than its torque.

Horsepower = torque x rpm / 5252 - Your rough calculations would be at about
4400 rpm.
