Champans do dyno tuning for me too. Rob owns my bro's old white JA with the roll cage etc. Clayton has a s2 JA, i think all of Robs sons own starion's now too, one of them has his eye on my JD lol..

Clayton does indeed do off road racing, as does Rob and his wife! She wins trophies too!

Interesting to have your car on the same dyno as Bao's dohc widey rad, and the orange car.. And my gemini.

The fact that Rob phoned me a number of times to advise of progress and then made time to show me all the fuel and ignition maps before and after and explained why he changed them and said that both he and Clayton had test driven the JB before and after the tune to give the final tune the thumbs up gave me confidence in his tuning skills.
He also said that there was more power to be gained BUT as I had insisted on a SAFE TUNE and not looking 4 the last bit of HP the fuel maps were a bit richer than he would normally set them.

"I have entered the Leyburn Sprints & have setup a practice track near the house. Be back in 37 secs"


It's not what you are saying but what the other person is hearing that is important. :o :)
