Working through in SI units is easy, Volume times pressure equals power, if pipework is correctly sized you should manage 70% efficiency.. Then you have to look at torque and whether gearing is necessary

A quick rough calculation is pressure in bars x flow in litres divided by 600 that gives you power needed in Kw so to convert that to HP multiply by 1.341.

If you need the power pack for a logsplitter best to use a dual stage pump which will give you fast cylinder travel speed and high pressure/power

Give Flowfit a call they will tell you (and sell you) what pump to fit.
