A Decent Tune-Up

OK chaps. I have re-fitted the beastie(RV8) back into the chassis.

Once I get it wired up I suspect it would be best to take it somewhere and get it sorted and tuned.
So
Anywhere near Andover Hants that anyone knows of ?

I heard there was someone at Thruxton who tunes V8's?

Thanks

Which Rv8 is it? , What Jets/rods are you using?
Have you got a calibration kit.

Try Slark engineering in Amesbury.

Ive just actually got the thing so I thought before I started messing with it, it would be better to take it to someone who knew how to do it and had the proper equipment.
I did hear about someone in Thruxton so Ill pop over there and ask
