There is no way you'll see a 30-40bhp gain on a normally aspirated, 3 litre production motor by just a remap, unless the original map was somehow corrupt and your car's performance was well under par before you started.
Perhaps he/she fitted throttle bodies, cams, ported the head and re-mapped the lot while you weren't looking?
Sarcasm is definitely the lowest form of wit. As I stated my car went from 231 BHP to 259 BHP. When I went to school that made 28 BHP. Most remappers will GUARANTEE (or your money back) 10-15%. Perhaps you went to a different school?
28BHP is in the middle of this range. And not a throttle body or cam in the equation. I was fairly happy with this although not ecstatic.
