Evn'n chaps.
Picked my RS up from the rolling road today after work.
All good news, the tester was very happy with the compression test before tuning, 95% on all cylinders
He balanced 45's ( he said they were screwed to tightly to manifold and can crack it if not careful) Set timing (the automatic advance and retard vacuum pipe was running off the manifold or something like that and he said that was wrong, and points were set.
Then came the power run, but, unfortunately he said he didn't want to go past 50mph as my o/s rear wheel was bouncing ferociously. I only noticed then that its soft as S*** on that side, I have spax adjustables on there, looks like I have to change them, then I can take her up for a power run, and he can then adjust the vernier pulley if need be to set up the cam.
I'm writing this while I think its still fresh in my head what he told me.
She is running like a swiss watch now, no backfiring at all on the way down, floored her in first (just power no clutch) and she snaked in straight line wheel spinning
