I live in Ken-tu-cky.... lol. I'd have to drive 60 miles or so to find a dyno shop. Plus I don't think a simple dyno test is a good way to measure mods that only give small power gains. IMO it would be less than 5hp on a dyno test. And real life conditions would be less than 7hp.

Also to get a good dyno test the ECU should be logged to compare A/F ration's.

Dyno's results are altered by , weather, tire pressure, engine oil breakdown, etc etc. Small gains are just to hard to measure.

Plus my car has 800miles on it. So no full throttle testing. If it had more miles then I do a gtech pro test. I fully hope to see some real life power gains - as I sit in traffic or climb a large hill. The three-way cat convertor makes massive amounts of heat. I also should decrease the stress on oil temps and trans fluid temps.
