Rolling Road Visit

The garage I went to was in a tiny, tiny village in Devon call Tipton St. John. A very friendly garage and I will definately be re-visiting after winter once I've changed the cam etc. The final BHP/torque plots are at the bottom which I'm pretty pleased with considering I've got a standard 2lt Pinto. The plots are taken at the flywheel and max power was 122.6 BHP and 130.2 ft lb of torque.

Most amusing this rolling road lark. Sitting casually on the back doing 100+ mph!
The amount of wires and probes stuck to various parts of my car to keep an eye on all the goings ons. They were all rigged into a large machine which displayed rpm, temp etc.
The first power run to check the timing at max revs. I had to sit on the back to stop it bouncing around!
Proof of the speed we were doing, althoug taken just before we reached max power in 4th gear.
The guy who was doing my car certainly knew his Webers. Here's a view inside which was opened to change the pump jets. Frankly I'd be to scared to touch anything in here as it look bl**dy complicated!
The final emissions levels at idle (the probes were disconnected from the engine at this point). Quite a difference from before I arrived.
