What am I looking at generally for a remap, both - horsepower/torque-wise and in dollars and cents?
And would you say its worth remapping before trying a sprintbooster ?

I found some dyno's that showed about 19hp max gain for $999 usd.
I tried the Sprintbooster out on the weekend. I actually didn't like it, it made my car feel like I was racing all the time. It would also hold the revs very high in my car. If I was a 20 year old kid in a honda civic it would have been good for me but I prefer the more refined factory feel.
Personally I would rather just put it in sport and go through the gears manually then use the SB.
