You won't get the same results running the engine on the ground as you would flying because without the airplane moving forward through the air, the prop will never get the chance to unload. Running a full tank of fuel through the engine on the ground is more or less just a waste of a tank of fuel.
Surely its a better option that sending it up without testing?
