Good plan - ideally you need to do a run before the mods are fitted and then one after.

The difference will tell you more than the outright power figure. Might be that you get 95bhp on the second run and you think your mods have given you 5bhp, when in fact you were down on power before and they've given you 15. Or the other way around, you get 95bhp because the road has miscalculated your transmission loss, and it looks like you gained 5bhp, when in fact the car would have read 95bhp beforehand.

If you want accuracy you need to strap the engine straight to the dyno which unless you need accuracy is not necessary.

if you take it to a decent accurate rr, dont Be surprised to see it make less than factory, you have to take into account the age and wear on the engine, coupled with the fact that your mods wont add power and may lose you some, stands a good chance they will be minus factory
