I agree completely with soD and JMCC. The only way I know of determining power with any reasonable degree of accuracy is on a high quality load dyno.
Accurate fuel flow measuring instruments are expensive and as was mentioned, fuel density has a major effect on the outcome. I calculate my fuel flow based on accumulated injector on time over a set time period. The best I seem to be able to get is about +- 3% of actual averaged over a range of speeds and loads.
