Northampton have one of the most unforgiving sets of rollers in the country.... they do know their shit about carbs and Weber Alpha though.

Yeah, they are well known with the old skool lot for reading pretty low, eg. my Capri with a road rally cam, stage 1 head and standard carb made all of 84 at the wheels (about 115 fly) and a 2.0 Zetec powered kitcar on 45s was making 155 BHP fly whilst I was there - most places quote over 170 for this conversion....
They do however know what they are doing and are a decent bunch of blokes.
