I'd hazard to guess that SAS don't know much about SU carbs and tuning minis...

They're are used to doing ECU tuning for EFI cars by using a laptop etc..did they actually tell you they could do it?

I'd be getting it tuned at mini classic by greig malure on his dyno...he's only up the road in ermington..

if they don't know SU's, you're throwing your money away... more often than not, people who get their cars dyno tuned come away with it running worse than when they started

And use the fuel specified by the manufacturer. (Leaded Super 96 octane) 8)

You can't just use the manufacturers specifications because they are not right for the current fuels. You set the timing and mixture to what the car needs, not what the book says.
