Do a deal with Rob to fit one of his replacement ECU's and I'm sure all your problems will go away... Why spend money replacing good bits when you can have a vast improvement made???

ETA: link removed for harmony.. but we all know anyway.. hehe

Look Rob's not the kind of guy to get upset about just one problematic Stealth. I really can't see that your problems will go away even if you can get Dom to have 435 ground specially for you. Much better to find the root of the problem IMHO.

Must say the old 435 was not bad at all ... and could do 300 bhp with a bit of messing...Loads of torque... Why did they stop making them!!

But what is it?.. Rob's had a look twice now.. the cam's out again and Rob's doing a great job looking everything over again ... Mark Adams has set it up on rollers for 6 hours and replaced everything he could under the bonneteek so we are all just a bit baffled now?rolleyes
I wanted to go back to 435 then at least we know cam wise we are back where we started... but they don't exist? it's a strange one for sure but it's with the experts so I have every confidance....

Just finishing final bits on my 885 install (was 435 before). Doubt I will get round to a RR session immediately but will post general feedback once I have it running. I have driven both my car which is standard, albeit with worn cam, and also a mint low mile original car which has serious grunt so I have a fair idea of what a good 435 is like, and hopefully will have a reasonable feel for how the 885 compares.

That would be good ... My 435 was good and I had loads low down... interesting to see if the 885 is the same...
