you mean the stock starion ECU or the stock Evo ECU?
the stock starion ECU wont beable to run the Evo motor!
i got no idea about that unit but unless you have some idea about tuning to me it could only end badly :P
id be more inclinded to just get the evo ECU flash tuned if the motor is running a evo ECU!

Im sorry, but your going to look at a starion with a twin cam, running a starion ECU and its sitting on its struts/shocks because it has no springs :roll: :roll: :roll: That's two hours of your life you will never get back my friend.
