Default Bluefin alternatives for FRS?

Is there any?? Cosidering going along the bluefin route, but doesn't seem to be much power difference for £500 IMO. Maybe i'm wrong.
Any thoughts peeps?

Have gone the Mongoose/de-cat & K+N route so far with staggering results, feels like the car has already been chipped! How much more difference would a bluefin make?

Get it live mapped with a decent manifold

Ah, but which manifold Stu?

Some serious debate about the quality of certain well known manufacturers on the RSOC board.

Whats your thoughts on the Bluefin thing? Doesn't seem worth it to me. Are similar or better results attainable by mapping alone?

A live map is always going to reap the best rewards for your engine, compared to an off the shelf solution.

Thats what i'm led to believe. Although I thought the process was especially beneficial (if not essential) to your high end modified stuff like the 4-500+ brigade.
How much difference would it make to a mildly modded otherwise std engine?

I've driven a Focus RS with a Mongoose, K&N, and decat, back to back before and after Bluefin.

Like driving a different car!
