Would i be able to remap my 4.6is?

As the topic says, the only issue is its just had an LPG conversion. would this affect anything? Can you recommend a place for a custom remap? and how much would i be looking at?

I had my 4.6 remapped by Jason. The acceleration increase was immense! Throttle response is so much sensitive also.

When driving sensibly I noticed maybe a 2-3mpg increase doesn't sound much I know lol but as you know on our juicy V8's even a 0.1mpg is a bonus!

Jason and the guys are a great bunch and Jason really knows his stuff.

It will definitely put a big smile on your face on the way home should you get it done! :)

would a power run/print out be done as part of the remap or is that extra?
