ECU Remaps??

Sooo yeahhh.. I'm driving an 07' R56s and I just really would like to know where I could buy an ECU remap. I saw that Alta just came out with a new AccessPORT ECU flash module. It's around $900US and I would like to know if there's something else that would give me more bang for my buck!?!?
If you know anything please help. I live near Pittsburgh Pennsylvania if that's any help.

no, there is nothing that will give you better bang for the buck. If you are looking for more power just do it.

There is another option in addition to Alta: RMW. Go to the site, click on Visit the Shop, then R56. I got this tune on an otherwise bone-stock MCS. The canned tune out of the box gave me an extra 22 hp and 18 lb-ft of torque. I got lucky enough to be living near where the proprietor was going a local tune and got a full 30 hp and 23 lb-ft bump. The results are impressive, the car has been totally reliable; and customer service is second to none.

Check this link for more info than you could possibly want on the tool and the tune. The Modifications forum also has feedback on both the RMW tune and the Alta AccessPort.
