Have you spoken to SOS Motorsport (Falkirk) or MAC Motorsport (Dundee). Not sure if they'll be able to help but worth a shot as they map a variety of things with good, honest results.

Try the Car Tuning Clinic Ltd in Abbeyhill, Edinburgh. Never used them but I was talking to a guy who said they tuned his 58 Chev that is carbed, and it improved.

I used the Car Tuning Clinic to periodically balance the Webers on my last Caterham. They did a great job of it, the throttle response always felt super sharp afterwards!

I agree that it’s not the best location to get to though.

Access is pretty easy from the A1 - turn onto Abbey lane, right at the bottom and you're there. I'm not a shill, just live nearby and pass it reasonably often.

So do I. Its more the traffic you are stuck in to get there than the actual roads themselves. Central Edinburgh is just not a nice place to drive into.

Yes, it's not a great town to drive in.
