them there rolling roads..

Post by Mike Usiskin »

Morning all,

I'm fast reaching a point after engine/pump/heat exchangers /exhaust rebuild etc that I like to get the car running just so. Chris Turner was saying that since I've had the MFI pump rebuilt I should get it optimised to the engine on a rolling road. I may have misquoted him horribly, I which case I apologise :oops: , but to that end, can anyone recommend anyone who works ( and ideally loves) these cars, specifically the mfi cars on a rolling road?

Also I've heard lots of contradictionary views on rolling roads and the validity of the info they provide. Any points of view folks? things to consider?

:hello2:

ttfn

Mike - see my recommendation of Bob Watson in James' thread on mfi experts.

Mike, I recommend Bob . years of experience, and a very nice guy with a genuine interest in giving you the best result for the lowest cost. Road testing and adjustment on the fly is ok but ultimately the last few bhp can only really be 'seen' on a rolling road.

I'll go with that. Bob is a straight forward guy with loads of experience who will not rip you off. The rigging on my injection was way off. Rolling road runs plus calibration cost me £175 and now the car is as sharp as a razor and the economy looks so good I think I need to re check it just to make doubly sure - basically I cannot believe my eyes!!! :) :) :) :)
