Macdonald Racing used to have one, but now they've become Beamish Morgan I'm not sure.
thanks, think they have one, but not sure if they allow other non morgans etc on it, have asked them the question
I've had my Frogeye on it, while they were in Lanchester.

Evotune mapped my car and did an absolutely superb job too.

thanks Guys will check this out, had CAI, Throttle body, full exhaust set up, and SCT chip on mine, but really want to get it properly set up
to get benefit from everything.. its already a big difference, I'm hoping proper set up will be even better again? what sort of cost is it?

Is this on your Corvette?

I paid £360 for the map on my Astra. Mods are turbo back exhaust (no cats), intake, bigger intercooler and upgraded re-circ valve. After the map I had 297bhp, 350 torques, much smoother power delivery and the actual throttle map on the pedal was smoother (Astra VXR's have a notoriously jerky/sensitive throttle).

I honestly have no idea whether they would be able to map the car, but they are doing a Rolling Road day on the 9th August, £35 for 3 runs. You could get the car on and check out the air/fuel ratio, see where it needs work, sure the guys there will be able to give you advice.

I always say with mapping you want to take it somewhere with a lot of experience with the engine, so they can get as much as possible out of it without risking damaging it.

Yes it is mate...
I'm actually thinking of taking the guy down who works on it, and supplied the tuning software too to be involved in process, so some specific experience of the marque. but sounds like a great result for yours.. thats a lot of torque!

I've used sedox in the past http://www.performance-remaps.co.uk was very impressed with the result and the service. Rolling road before and after.
Sedox took a right bashing on SEATCupra.net and MK5GolfGTI recently..

Been found to be selling "SEDOX" software that wasnt actually SEDOX software

Sedex used to be PDTuning, and before that VSport. Same unit. Same guy. A little googling or a search on here (northeast section) will turn up all sorts of negative stuff.

I've been to Sedox to check them out, I wouldn't put my push bike in there. I went to see Jamie at Evotune and he did a fantastic job of setting my car up on the RR.

I subsequently heard of someone that removed their mx-5 from Sedox and went home after they tried to put the front wheels on the rollers frown
