Nah, Modshack Paint dyno is way more accurate than real dyno or butt dyno.

Sorry guys, but here is my take on Dyno #'s for the sake of just running a vehicle on a dyno. It's like whipping your wang out to brag & thinking it's going to be huge, when you might find yourself disappointed to find out it's not as big as you thought.
Peak hp means nothing, if you are losing torque & power elsewhere or it's not trackable. Now dyno tuning & gearing for a track, specific track is better imho or to look for power in your style of driving makes sense. Take AutoX, peak hp is not going be useful if you are giving up power down low for launch & exits.

Sorry guys I see this dyno thing way to much in the bike world & it means nothing if it's not usable.
