    yeah, i agree with Ryan, don't get someone who thinks they know what their doing, its a tricky job, and if you mess it up its a very costly one too!

    Marc (williamsvts) is very good at timing his own cams! And he can get them to run very good without mapping etc.

    Still recommend a £400 remap if you want decent gains.
