Hi, putting it on the dyno is the best way to find out the needles for your car. You should at least be running M needles as per Cooper S with that engine, or even H6s.

Twin HS2s are fine (near perfect) for that engine.

Make sure they know about SUs. Seems to be a lot of places that will tune your Evo V Mitsubishi Mirage fuel injection to suit the 5" rice cannon you've just fitted.

I just spent $210 to have my daily hack put on the dyno to fix a bad miss under load. They gave it back to me saying there was nothing wrong ("It's just a Magna"). I gave it back with some more specific instructions and they finally found the miss - fuel injectors. I wouldn't take my Mini to this particular place if they can't even fix a sh*tbox Magna! But I digress...
