Actually, we have found the numbers after a run help to make the motor finish stronger. You can compare before and after numbers and see how the motor holds up. Ultimately you need to finish strong to finish first and no better way to check than off the track. We used to try and dyno motors after a run as they were still warm.

Dyno numbers before a run are good, to keep a baseline and make sure the motor is maintaining performance. The motor after a run I think tells you more about how the motor holds up and you can change setup and/or gearing to finish strong. Just my opinion though.
