This is well worth it, I found apart from the obvious gain in power the car drove much better ie, better running in stop start driving instead of lurch lurch and fuel economy got better buy 1/2 mpg.thumbsup

What kind of power gains would you be looking at? Is it done on a rolling road?

It gives you 8bhp which doesnot sound alot and bear in mind this is a minimum, but the way the power is delivered is B) . If you have a miltek system and use optimax you will be looking at 21bhp and the kick @ 4000rpm :o

The car will be set up on the rolling road. thumbsup

I believe the 8bhp is quoted for a standard car, so as Whiteboy says, in conjunction with other mods you should see more :D

If only they weren't so far away (combined with Regal being on my doorstep). Would they be able to do it on a weekend?

I've got a full exhaust system going on soon (should find out when tomorrow) so would have to be after that in any case.

OK, I have a "standard" LY, 'cept that I'm 99% certain it had a different exhaust put on by a previous owner with the standard being refitted before it was sold. So I have no idea if it's on a standard map or has already been remapped. Is there any way to find out? Would the remap work with later mods i.e. exhaust/cat/induction? If it hasn't been done then I'm in.

Just looking at their website:

CS1
Remap
Increases to +8 bhp £295 Fitted

CS2
Remap, Airbox Mods, Sports Air Filter
Increases to +11bhp £350 Fitted

CS3
Remap, Airbox Mods, Sports Air Filter, Stainless Steel Exhaust (Tailbox and Centre Section inlcuding Sports Cat), Rolling road Tune
Increases to +21bhp


What is the airbox mod?

Also is it a rolling road tune? CS3 is.
