He does both, I have twing H4's and he knew how to work them, only problem he didnt have many needles. He does specialize in webers, told me numerous times that if I was running a Weber it would have taken him half the time. R

He charges £150 an hour and I think thats reasonable. I originally had "20" needles but they were too rich at idle and too lean at the top end. In the end we picked "CP4" I fitted them myself and wen back to check F.O.C for 15 minutes. I also changed the size of the ram pipes to shorter 1" ones. Car is now very smooth, bags of torque at 3000 rpm and idles at 800 rpm.
