Definitely expect the Iowa to outperform the Yamato if they implement her last remodel (harpoon & tomahawk missiles!). In relative terms, the Yamato's 46cm guns could fire heavier shells (Yamato's Type-1 AP shell was  1460kg, Iowa's 'super-heavy' shell was 1200kg) but in practice the Iowa's shells had pretty similar AP capability. They never engaged each other in a gun battle so we'll never know for sure but the Yamato was most likely more than a match for it. For the purposes of this game, I'd expect similar sort of performance to Nagato or Bismarck Drei.
