A rolling road tune by someone who knows what they’re doing can produce more HP and reduce fuel consumption by more than pretty much any other mod you might choose to pay for.....

RR tuning is all down to the skill and experience of the operator. Many now only tune modern cars with electronic injection and are not so good with carburettors.
If you have a car that is badly set up it can be transformed in the way it performs

Rob,

We have used Airey Tuning on our minis over the past few years and have always been impressed with how much better they run once the tuning has been done. Tom Airey is a proper 'old school' owner who really knows his stuff!

Took my GT to Tom Airey tuning a week ago. He kept it 2 days added extra 8 bhp after rolling road tune set up runs so much better in every way. Super pleased. Even had a follow call day after. Would definitely recommend .

He must be ancient. He did my car 30 years ago and he looked close to retirement then.
