Step 1: Assessment
Before remapping a Jaguar XFR or any car at Paramount, a comprehensive assessment of the vehicle’s current performance and condition will be conducted. This includes:
- Checking the engine’s health
- Running diagnostics checks
- Evaluating existing ECU settings and software
- Analysing the vehicle’s performance data – preferably on the Rolling Road
Step 2: Selecting the Right Software

- Upload New Map: Using the chosen software, upload the new engine map to the ECU. This process usually takes 30 minutes.
- Testing: After remapping, Paramount will conduct thorough dyno testing to ensure that the vehicle performs and the new power is as expected
