    suppose you pay for what you get and at least you know what your getting. theres a 100k rolling road in leic but ive been told they dont know what there doing with it. ive really leant to never skimp, would be nice though if it was a bit cheaper.

    been in touch with them in leicester and they sound pretty decent. for a vts they charge £350 for a full remap. and quoted me an extra £150+vat for fitting the cams. does this sound about right?

    fit them as normal and set the timing to standard whilst you tension the belt.
    at this point you wont have an idle, so from the locking holes turn the inlet anti-clockwise approx 2mm and the exhaust clockwise approx 2mm.
    turn it over by hand first to make sure you have enough clearance.
    this will give you a good idle, then you can get it set for power when you get it mapped.
