Not very much to be honest 5bhp if alone with no other mods?
With Exhaust, panel filter etc. maybe 10.

Debatable with the 180's. Funnily enough I was just looking at Brains remaps (with a gsr induction) and RST dyno'ed him at 162 (after a remap and gsr), but then he went to Ecosse who dyno'ed him at 182bhp! Confusing stuff!

I've been told the car is alot more responsive and better to drive.

To be honest, thats what you should do any way really, because a remap will make your car utilise the new parts you have put on, there's not really much point on a non modified car.

Unless you plan to keep it standard that is. Think of it as improving the drivability more than to give more power as it irons out flat spots, makes the throttle more responsive, etc.

Power isnt everything. Remap increase drivebilty, low end power, much tork, better response and when driving normal better milage. Do it.

Its funny you say power isnt everything yet you say more torque and low end power  
Do the 180's really drive so bad that you want to spend £350???
Probably not
