Right, as some of you may have seen on my progress thread I've been building a fairly high spec JP4 lump and now its getting towards completion.
I'm looking for a decent rolling road that would be able to set my car up, but a lot of the ones I seem to be finding are too far away and as my car only currntly has a standard map to run on, I don't want to drive it till its been set up, so it'll need to be trailered to the rolling road.
Does anyone know of anywhere decent rolling road around the east anglia area? I live in Milton Keynes but don't mind paying that bit more to get the car taken to somewhere that will do the job very well.

My engine spec is as follows

Rebored JP4 engine
R1 carbs on a bogg brother manifold
Newman Ph 4 cams
Adjustable cam pulleys
Saxo VTS valve springs
Wossner high compression pistons
PEC forged con rods
Lightened and balanced crank and flywheel
Race big and bottom end bearings
Gas flowed head
Omex 200 management
Supersprint exhaust manifold
Full Magnex exhaust system with decat

It would also be handy to know of some places you've had bad experiences with so I can avoid them,

Cheers

I haven't contacted anyone yet, I thought I'd see who came recommended first.
Links to their web pages or just E mail addresses would be handy :)

ATSpeed seem to have good feedback, and not too far from you

A lot of people use Northampton Motorsport, should be just down the road from you?

Cheers everyone, my plan has pretty much been take it to atspeed, but it's going to cost quite a bit to get it there and back, will have to fire off some e mails tonight, see what comes back :)

It's worth paying to get the car transported to the right place, whoever it may be

The Tork Of The Devil (Uxbridge/Cowley) or Power Engineering (Uxbridge/Cowley)
These two places are mint, my boss uses both places for his nissan 200sx and he recommends them highly.

maybe Northampton motor sport... they do a lot of carb setup and tuning!! map alot of old skool caterhams with carbs!!

they are not too far from you! and basiclly same setup as ATspeed, both use same sort of dyno... would say these two are the best for the job you want.

yer i like to see what it will do... aldo you know it not that cheap at NMS it about 100 an hour after VAT.

I'm running Omex200, I don't mind paying to get a job done properly, but one thing we've struggled with when doing the Saxo and Clio is that as soon as you entrust your car to other people they always mess you around and let you down, thus the thread, and thats why we try to do everything to our cars ourselves
