well all engines are slightly different so with a live map its done 100% to your car not a copy of someones else car, off the shelf chips have timing way to far back, so the tuner covers there self not to brake your engine, which makes the map so lazy.

take your car to harvey gibbs do right do it once!

you get the very best out of your spec basically

just make sure you take it to someone who knows what they are doing, who do you plan on taking it to?

if your on weber management then MAD dont map it, NMS on the other hand do.

Reyland would probably be your nearest (Birmingham), i think he maps weber
