Default What to do before remap on Spec C

Hi, I'll be going for remap within few weeks and I'd like to know how to prepare the car for that, I've checked andy forest page what should be done but I'm not sure if that also apply to spec c.
Currently car is running a bit over 300bhp and it has fitted hks induction kit and kakimoto exhaust, which I'd like to decat or get other full decated system, also I'm not sure if I have to change fuel pump to Walbro as I've heard that Spec C has uprated fuel pump already. Spark plugs has been changed to pfr7b and I'll get 3 port BCS.
Is there anything else I should do before going for remap?
Thanks

Oil and filter change,full tank of v power and just enjoy. Who you planning on having it mapped by? Ive recently had andrew carr mapp mine and used duncan(racedynamix) on my previous car both very good in my opinion. Only used andrew with current car as wanted carrberry rom features.

Thanks, I'll get a Walbro then
All oils and filters has been changed about 600 miles ago when I bought the car so this should be fine
I'll defo use someone who is recommended on SN and if possible in the north west area, just don't know yet if have it mapped on the dyno or on the road.

good stuff, if your still on the standard airbox then a proR/K&N filter will be a good addition to your setup as well.

mattybr5 bound to have a few lying around for easy money - plus you'll get enough bubble wrap to protect your car/house/garage/help a friend move house/wrap yourself in bubble wrap armour etc. (he likes his bubble wrap)
