Would love to.... but i'm otherwise engaged 
for Info, I can't regularly do 'try & buy' as I have to purchase the software licences per vehicle, having four or five 'in stock' isn't a problem but as each remap is bespoke and unique to the vehicle (due to the adaptive nature of the ECU and security codes and checksum's) I would have to arrange for the software supplier to be available outside of normal working hours - not normally an issue, but a consideration Additionally, unless there are going to be good road driving sections for 'testing' then the benefits wouldn't be immediately apparent - That said, I may well be able to come and play for one day (regardless of any Torq-Tune involvement )

Is there any info about power / torque yet, or have I been asleep?

probably missed it with all the 'chaff'
In response to a PM requesting further info...
Quote:With respect to Discovery 3, torque is boosted by around 20%, with mpg up by around 8-12%, the reason I say 'around' is due to the adaptive nature of the engine contol unit and the manufacturing tolerance of the engine and it's ancillary components. Fuel consumption is obviously dependent upon driving style, transmission type, ambient temperature, vehicle load, tyre type etc.
cost will be circa £550 although it is yet to be finalised and will be plus VAT, there is every likelyhood that the 'disco3.co.uk' price will be £50 lower than the full retail price. Should the vehicle need a reapplication of the remap due to an LR dealer updating the ECU, this will be free for as long as you own the vehicle.
The advantages over the <edited> tune are mainly that it has been developed more recently and tested extensively on both '06 & '07 MY's in real environments - not just in a software environments. I am selling it under my own 'Torq-Tune' brand to reflect the additional development and refinement over and above the commercial remaps that I buy in and apply my own 'overlay' to. The tune is transparent to LR dealers and will not compromise any future warranty claims on the vehicle or specific to the engine.
Because it has been 'tweaked' due to real-world testing, it is very much at home in the environment you suggest<* edit: Question was specifically with respect to''country lanes and A roads' >, along with the torque boost, the torque 'useability' is enhanced, basically you can hold on to gears longer to keep the turbo boost 'on song' when needed together with an early shift up to 6th gear at around 45-50 mph for 'A' road cruising

Think the raw numbers are on page 2 or 3 - the real test is how it improves driveability - once the remap is 'in the wild' and (hopefully) a few early adopters post feedback then the real benefits should become clear 8)
