For back to back under controlled conditions maybe. Question was about generating a BSFC map and the errors in the fuel calculation in the ECU make this too inaccurate to be useable (in my opinion).

Reason for inaccuracy: fuel flow is calculated as a function of rail pressure and injection duration for a nominal injector. Injector flow particularly will vary, and needle lift vs electrical pulse will also be inconsistent.
