DIY Alta Tuning advice

I just completed my State 1: Tuning for my Cooper S 2005

- Alta CAI
- Alta 15% Pulley
- Alta Exhaust

I am thinking of remaping my ECU to reach maximum performance of the following modification.

Any advice on ECU modification (software remap) which tuning house doest it?

If I want to increase oil ignition power, which one should I use and how many CC for each head?

Cool. Can I have your opinion and a few words of how differently the S runs with those mods you have just done? I was thinking about doing the same exact thing if I get an S. Thanks!

With my 2005 Cooper S Manual transamition.
I can feel the acceleration of the car improvement during 40 KM/H to 100 KM/H in 2nd gear / 3rd gear (at approx 4.5K to 5K RPM)

The Alta Exhaust does a good job at high speed 140Km/h up to 180 Km/h. And the sound wasn't that loud compare to my previous "Play MINI" Exhaust. (I took Play MINI Exhaust off because of the noise)

I don't feel much different after install Alta CAI. (First modification I did)

Overall; the performance does increase to around 10% to 15%. I plan to take my car for a Dyno test next week. To see increase in HP.

Next step is to increase performance around Ignition System.

I recommend the Evotech reflash. They tailor it to your car mods and it can be changed as you add further mods. Added 20Hp [+178 US wheel horsepower] and lots torque to my '05 MCS. PM me for an email of my dno chart [file is too big for posting].

Blue Cooper Result after Alta tuning

Please note that this test result from the wheels not from the engines. I will go for Dyno test again. Should get more HP.
