given rwhp, approximate crank hp
Have had the car on jack stands for quite a few months adding parts here and there. Recently got the car tuned at Forged Performance.
The guys that knew I was working on the car also knew my goal was at least 400 rwhp. We got that...+
Lets say I'm making 400 rwhp based on the dyno sheet... Can a reasonable approximation of the crank hp be made given that number or is more information necessary? By "crank hp", I am referring to the hp numbers that car manufacturers specify.

Live your life a quarter mile at a time, all the other bs doesnt matter. For those 10 seconds or less, your free.

I usually figure 10-15% for RWD, about 10 percent higher for AWD, and add a bit more if you have an automatic transmission, as the torque converter on a stock transmission gives you significant power loss.
It's hard to say exactly how much power you're losing, but what does it really matter? All the power in the world means nothing if you can't put it to the ground.
PS - SWAT came into my house, disrespected my whole family, because somebody narcd me out, and you know what? IT WAS YOU!

Just a metric I use in my overall strategy. Know your enemies (art of war). Good starting point for that would be manufacturer's claim of crank hp, no?
Next move is getting both rear wheels churning. I have a base model. Leaning towards Quaife. Understand it's a relatively simple install and have read good reviews. This should aid in getting all that power in my world to the ground.
PS - sorry about the whole SWAT thing... I was bored.
