Some might say a shop would be prone to lowballing the 'before' to make their stuff look better, which is true. But if you have a dyno that tends to read high you'll also post better gains vs a more conservative dyno.
Even in the coming months when people do a before & after, I'm still skeptical that it might be a 'happy' dyno. If you dyno your car, are you going to be more likely to post it if the number is high or if its low?

A nice way to protect against that is to have them ALSO dyno a car with known HP/torque numbers, like a gen 5 Camaro SS.
