You dont really need a remap for a stage 1 in my opinion.
If you really feel you want one then MSD or NMS as said above
The 044 fuel pump is an overkill and the standard pump is more than enough for stage 1 providing the wiring and pump itself are in good condition.
Having said that, replacing it if you can afford to do it is a good move.
Does it only miss fire on boost or hard acceleration ?
When it does miss fire, does the rev count stay smooth reading or does it jump about ?
If yes to both questions above, its most likely the plug gaps are too big or the wrong plugs.
Try gaps of 0.5mm as a test.
If the rev count jumps around, you probably have a crank sensor fault.

what plugs do you use and what are they gapped at
standard fuel pump is fine at your power level - just make sure its rewired for a direct feed from the battery (very very important!)

when you want to go stage 3, providing your spec is straight forward and nothing wild - get a decent off the shelf chip from MSD (motosport developments) and take it too MAD in berskshire - job done

Twelsie,
Normally I would agree to a point but MAD have checked over many cars using MSD chips in the past.
CossieRich before he got his new conversion for example !
