If you drive it every day then tune it for standard unleaded, save the money. If you drive it once a year up pod and have already spent the other £30K on performance to get 100th's of a second off the time, then tune it for super unleaded.

I know nothing of this chap, so I am completely un biased.

You only ever hear good things because people involved do everything they can to stop others saying the 'bad things', as it 'damages their business'. It's not the fact that mistakes are made or work is not carried out to the highest standards, it's more about how those business' resolve those 'bad things', rather than ignoring it as if it did not matter. Morspeed was a prime example. That said, you will always find peoples opinions differ on the same things, good or bad.

ive mentioned this in other threads one you posted on if i remember it was about a flat out running problem & the result was the needle had no profile done on wot even tho it was set at 12psi on the rollers ive also talked about this to turbo phil on the phone as he was confirming safe timing figures as i had no clue at the time but the pre ignition took the end off one of the plugs off witch then took one of me valves out signs of det on the pistons pretty much a waist of time for me but i can only say my experience just being honest mate dont want you to have any trouble but like i said i didnt know as much then (still earlier this year) so took it thinking i was goin to get it all done properly didnt have any det devices on when setting up either hope all goes well just my personal opinion
