What did ecosse have to say about it? Do you think going back to the fast road cams may wield better drivability?

I would suggest as Jamie, go speak to Ecosse and say your not happy. I would also take the car to another Rolling Road and get another run done.

Surely Ecosse have to offer some form of after-sales service?
I'm gutted for you, I can imagine how much you had been looking forward to this and how long you had it all planned

The thing is though Paul, are you really getting the chance to give the cars the berries? Aren't cams/tb's all high end power band stuff? ie you'll need to rev the nuts off it (like any 138 or 180) to get the power out of it. You ain't gonna get the torque with N/A engines as i tried to point out with my RR read-out.
