Default race dynanics remap......worth it?

Hi all, been recommended race dynamics for remapping and wanted some views.

Only had the car since last sunday but i'm wanting more low domn torque/power due to the boost being at 3200rpm ish.

Cars a uk300 wrx prodrive with the only mods being a exhaust/sports-cat/panel filter/bailys dump valve. Will a remap make a big diffrence to drivability/power ect...

Thanks, kev.

Fitting those mods should ideally be followed by a remap anyways.

As for Dynamics remap, i'd personally choose others (my opinion of course). Simon AKA jolly green monster would be (is mine) first choice if it were me

duncan is a wizard at what he does ... it will feel like a diferant car once he has spun his magic on it.... in my experiance with scoobies if u need to know if anything is possible just ask duncan he is always happy to help. just text him !!!!!

i have used racedynamix about 4 times now and he has just got my 2007 wrx upto the figures below ... on a rolling road day @ROGER CLARK MOTORSPORT

I spoke to him about 40mins ago. But wanted some views of people who've already had it done.

Nice figures an07 ptn

Are they all round the £350 for a simple map then.

Top bloke remapped my Simtek that had been previously 'mapped' and my **** dyno was a lot happier.
He does live Bournemouth way now but as someone previously said will travel.
