Lemme know how it goes, buddy has a nice reader that plugs into his laptop so he can tune his car on the fly, or pay to have someone tune it over the internet.

He has a little beamer convertible that I would consider a sleeper car........It goes Light speed if he touches the gas....I hate driving with the MOFO...not big into whiplash from accelleration or dying in a firey crash

I will have to look into this remapping is not usually doable on a stock ecu. You usually need some sort of chip or an aftermarket ecu installed.

What vehicle is this on?

I got a Superchips tuner for my Charger. Firmed up the shifts, raised the rev limiter and bumped the top speed from 126 (limit of the stock tires) to 160 (It now has V rated tires).

Took it up to 155 and it still had pedal left. I'm sure it will hit the 160 limit. Yee-Fucking-Haw!
