Engine mapping

Hi, I recently had my ; Isuzu Rodeo, Single cab, 2011, 2.5 TD, 135psi Vehicle remapped. Cost €200.
I got it done as I was planning a trip to the French Alps and thought an extra few horses pulling wouldn't be a bad idea since I now have a yr 2000 Ranger demountable on top weighing somewhat more than my Suntrekker I reckon.
So far I am very happy with the result, as the engine noise is lower due to lower revs also resulting in better diesel consumption.
Yesterday I took on the famous "Alpe d'Huez" switchback climb and it was a joy to do as on each switchback I was able to go around in 2nd gear and not having to drop Bach into 1st. The acceleration away was superb and a great surprise.
The mechanic reckons I am now at approximately 180psi as the remapping usually adds about 30%( would need to go on a rolling road to confirm)
So all in all delighted.
