Default Calculated Load % - BHP

If we have a calculated engine load percentage, for example 50%, is there any way of calculating BHP?

At first glance I am assuming not.....as calculated laod % is a percentage of what the engine is capable of delivering at that point in time, and not absolute load.

Anyone?

It varies from engine to engine, but usually the volumetric efficiency is worse at part throttle than it WOT.
