Hi, yes I would recommend a rolling road session if you want to get the best out of your mods. In my opinon its the best money you will spend. Without a good setup you may well be losing out on the power you have paid for.

I have been to many rolling road sessions over the years were owners *think* they have a certain amount of power only to find out they are no where near it because the car is under or over fuelling or the timing is way out, or there is another fault they werent aware of.

In fact the best money I ever spent was on a rolling road session when my car was totally standard. It revealed my distributer vacum advance was stuck, gained around 30 bhp when that was sorted!

If you are still using the original k-jet fuel injection, then no, you wont need a new chip as they don't have one.

That's a great engine spec  :thumbs:

From experience, those mods are very likely to run the engine very lean, which without correct tuning/adjustment will cause pinking, which can damaged the engine.

So yes,  a full rolling road tune up will ensure the fueling and engine is correctly setup.  :thumbs:

Yes, running lean may well be a problem. Maybe worth adding in a set of 16v injectors, either new or cleaned and flow checked, and a 16v warm up regulator with the adjustment mod to get enough fuel in.
