MC1 for me - very good driveability with no shunting/hunting.

I went for the Stealth supplied & fitted by Rob Robertson of V8 Developments.

The Stealth gave a noticeable improvement in performance even though my TVR original wasn't as worn as I expected.

Surprisingly there was no loss of driveability, the car remains very tractable with the Stealth cam.

Same day service from Rob and very well priced, I can't fault either the cam or the fitting.

Highly recommended.
