Default Custom remap and Cam options for ST170?

Hello.

After speaking to the guys at Superchips about Bluefin for my car and then being told I'd get less than the estimated 8 BHP increase for these cars due to mine having aftermarket Blueflame exhaust and K&N Panel filter, I've decided to (eventually) go for a custom ECU remap.

A few quick searches has brought BBR/Morego and Rapid Remap to my attention, among MANY others. BBR/Moregos ST170 Starchip/Remap estimates 12 - 14 BHP and 16 - 18 Newton Metres of torque increase (which seems good for £345) while Rapid Remap don't offer an ST170 remap at the moment.

In the latest issue of Fast Ford there's an advert for a Piper Cams kit for the ST170 for about £250 (or there abouts) with a vernier pulley (about £150ish) which also boasts about a 15BHP increase. Now, I'm a total Newb with all this stuff and won't claim to even know what they do, but the gains/improvements they claim to offer sounds ok to me for the relatively low price (not including fitting, which I have no idea about for £ value). Would something like these be worth it aswell as a custom remap?

Just wondered if anyone had any experience with BBR/Morego or if could recommend anyone else I could consider?

Thanks
