As above. Having been on the expensive end of a poor remap, ALWAYS choose a tuner who specialises in a particular brand |

I've heard to many stories of crappy generic maps that are not tailored to your own car and the problems they cause.

Silverstone, it's the 5.0L, what they explained to me was that due to the way the transmission ecu talks to the engine ecu they couldn't get a exact bhp reading on the dyno but based on the graph readings they could get estimated it at somewhere between 560 and 580 bhp, but as I say that was only a estimate not a exact figure but the way they explained it went over my head somewhat. Did produce 750Nm of torque on the dyno though. Can't remember how much smaller the s/c pulley was either, may have been something like 10% but could be way out on that.

Col - how noticeable is the extra (say) 70BHP/ 90ft/lbs for day-to-day driving? The standard car is quite brisk and very useable. Some noticeable extra 'poke', though, would be welcome for overtaking and when pressing on across country.

General day to day driving fine, no noticeable difference, but open the window and listen while you drop it in sports mode with dynamic, floor the throttle and grip the steering wheel or else you could end up in the back seat, you will need a tyre lever to remove the grin from your face afterwards . They did it in a day while I waited.
