Hello all, well I have finally managed to get round to booking the car in for a proper tune and set up with Tom Airey. Hopefully will get it running even better and get a power output prior to me attending any track days, which I want to do ASAP.

Anyway, will let you all know how I get on.

Right, well I am back and have the following to report....

The Facet fuel pump was knacked, so got that changed...
The leads and plugs need changing...

BUT what a difference the drive home was.

Was a little bit more than I wanted to pay but I would have to say that it was worth it.

Oh, and the engine is prodicing over 150bhp!!!!!

Looks like I got a good deal when I had my tune up on the rollers.. im amazed at the prices some places charge.
I paid a flat rate of 50quid inc. parts, he tweaked my cam timing, set ignition timing, checked fuel pressure, set my DCOE's and sorted my rev limiter. Was there from 9am to 1pm and was made very welcome with cups of tea and cake.. downside was his rolling road was a tad optomistic so I only ended up with an guesstimate figure.

Quite pleased with the results though :cyclops:
