    Anyone heard of London Remaps?

    No have not heard of them. However a quick look at their website show they will 'remap' just about every car made since Henry Ford started. They will be using a generic remap. I would strongly suggest you contact Pete Bell at Bell Auto Services here or Gary Wood at Alive Tuning here...
