Default best tuner / rolling road in the south east?

I live in reading, and by the sounds of it, i need my 450bhp cossie engine setting up / checking over after finding out paul hills at engine advantages has touched it (not built it). Who is the best, most reliable and consistent rolling road tuner in the south / south east?
cheers

Depends what management its on. If its L6/L8 P8 then I'd take it to MSD.

M.A Developments is in Maidenhead. Pretty close to you I think.

Personally if that is the engine you mentioned in the other threads then it should be live mapped.

I'd use both Steves at Track and Road for most things but they cannot map L8 so your relying on the Paul Hills chip to be suited to that spec.

Karl Norris has just done a superb job on my mates Saph, not a days work though but well worth the money.

How far is Mark Shead from you ? although he can be a bit on the busy side he may be worth calling.

Get it done right once as that won't be a cheap engine to rebuild

i was gonna say you have no chance with track and road...

It really depends if it has to be rolling roaded and not set up on the actual road.

Obviosly there are people down here and there is no need to travel 2 hours+

I would suggest Joe at GS Motosport or Grove garage. Both within 5 miles of each other but neither use rolling roads.

Ive had experiences with both and joe is genuinely a fantastic bloke youre car will run perfect when you leave, his attention to detail is amazing.

I have just been to see Luke at Enhanced Performance which is just south of Gatwick down the M23. He's very experienced, knowledgable, enthusiastic and the price was reasonable. He has a rolling road, knows Fords inside out and spent a long time with me going through options, keeping me informed about what was being done. The quality of the work is very good.

01293 560 291 (Luke).


Grove Garage in ROmford is also fantastic - slightly further away from you. The reason I went to Enhanced Performance is that Grove Garage Mark was away for a little while.

as mark is so close, it would be daft not to go for a setup/check. if the map is not all ok, mark can get you a suitable chip from motorsport developments and install and setup for you

Enhanced Performance didn't do my mapping or set up. Luke just diagnosed my fuel problem and has installed and rebuilt the fuel system on my race car. He knows his stuff, and is very helpful.

My car was set up and mapped by Ahmed at Grove Garage - and it's been done really well.
