Many people seem happy with them. I would run several times in the same location with a few minutes of easy driving in between to cool off. That would give a good sense of how much variation the method has. I would also test several hard back-to-back runs just to see how much heat matters. With an NA car, though, it doesn't matter all that much unless there are custom parts, and even then it shouldn't matter all that much.
