rolling road

hello all,

well my little winter project (2 months now) of putting bike carbs on the pinto, turned out to take a bit longer, used the opertunity to tidy up the engine bay quite a bit, ill get some pics up in a while.

anyway, should all be finished this sunday, spec before

2.0 pinto (bored to 2.1 with v6 pistons)
kent fr cam
mk 4 into 1 exhaust
weber 38dgas downdraught carb

the changes are as follows

bike carbs (fireblade, previously fitted onto 2.1 pinto)
fireblade fuel pump
H&H solutions coil and dizzy

now hopefully it will be running by sunday, the car is used mainly on the road, so my question is should i book it into a roaling road, i understand the benefits of having someone that knows something about cars with all the correct tools, compared to me with my various sizes of hammer.

if people think its a good option my main concern is cost, could someone give me an idea on cost,

oh and also, anyone got a similar set up, what bhp (wheels or fly) are you getting.

kind regards, thanks in advance

there is an RR in N. Wafturd - called red dot tuning or similar.

no experience if their tuning abilities for tuning as I only took mine for a spin on their road to certify my speedo.

(I explained what I wanted them to do yet they seemed to be a bit slow mentally).
