Most shops will measure flow rate at a constant pressure, ultra sound clean, retest and will provide a min +/-5% across the set. Most will flow 2%.
Race set up will give you the same or better but the difference is most controllers will adjust the dwell cycle of the injectors to match cyl to cyl balances. I will let the race engineers explain further.
