Power increase will be minimal, but it will probably drive smoother and feel more urgent. It will also be a bit more economical as a good remap makes the engine run more efficiently.

all above correct but barely noticable, main thing really is the power curve and it will be right for your engine i gained 13 from std book bhp and that cost me about 2k

I paid £150 and noticed better response at higher revs, as well as improved economy. Max was only about 141bhp, but the difference was noticeable.
