I thought I'd re-jet carbs and try to find some more power... :D
Mate recomended John Wilcox Competition Engines (http://www.wilcoxengines.co.uk/), handy, as It's only around the corner!!
Popped in with piece of paper with new jet sizes, place is like time warp (in good way!), BDA's, BDG's and COSWORTHS every where!!! John Wilcox is genuinly nice and helpfull bloke! I had a chat and hour and half later left smiling with new jets!! :D
I'm fitting new jet later today..
