Default Midlands mapper.. who to use?

I've had my car now for 3 months. I've always used the same set of rollers/tuner for all the cars i've owned, 370bhp gtir, 420bhp gtir, 360bhp sapph, 350bhp nova let, 300bhp corsa b let, etc...

When I bought the car is was live mapped to 1.7bar, spec as below:-

Simtek Ecu with switchable maps (1bar and 1.7bar)
GT Spec 2 3 bolt headers (Harvey Smith heat wrapped)
Harvey Smith trick up pipe (Harvey Smith heat wrapped)
Harvey Smith TD05 20G turbo (Harvey Smith heat wrapped)
Cobra 3 inch downpipe (Harvey Smith heat wrapped)
Cobra 3 Inch non resonated cat back exhaust with 4.5 inch tail pipe
RCM huge K&N filter with stainless trumpet & MAF less Samco hose
Harvey Smith 550cc injectors
255lph Wallboro fuel pump
Custom breather setup with D1 catch can & braided breather hoses
HDI GT2 front mount intercooler
GGR Racing 230mm Sports clutch

Unfortunately the tuner i've always used hasn't got the software to map a simtek ecu. I took it there to have a power run where it made 298bhp @ 1bar and 358bhp @ 1.7bar and to have the knock and fueling checked. Whilst I was happy with the results, it's running rich and almost caused the tuners lamba to switch off.

I want to have it re-mapped to have anti-lag and launch control installed at the same time. Also my current tuner feels it could make an extra 15-20bhp due to the fact it's running rich.

Question is who to use around the Midlands area? Was thinking either TD or Zen? and advice or opinions welcome

If you give us a town then we can be more helpful. For me it would have to be a run to Scoobyclinic in chesterfield. Zen have a good reputation also, have a look through the threads to get some more options

Duncan at racedynamix he did mine not long ago he also sell's the simtek's so no's his way round them can be mapped on the road or you could do like i did and meet duncan at RCM and use there rollers..
The aftercare from him is also great he's straight to the point no bull

ZEN everytime for me chap. Mapped my car a few times now and his knowledge and ability is unbeatable.
Give Paul a bell, he can do it on the road or is often at RCM.

I've always used streetracers in Leicester:-

http://shop.streetracersgd.co.uk/

I'm sure Gordon would let me use his rollers, if you could pm me a price to re-map and fit lauch control and anti-lag and i'll have a chat with him about using his rollers
