AMR Performance has been hard at work developing software enhancements on the Mercedes-Benz C450. We released our first ECU stage 1 software upgrade back in February 2016. Results were excellent and all our customer's were pleased with their vehicles performance. We could have left things there, but those who know us, know we are constantly hard at work to continuously improve our products.
We are proud to release our new ECU software revision 1.02b. This revision has been in development for quite some time and is finally available to the public.
The new revision further enhances the vehicles capabilities. Bumping horsepower gains from +65hp (revision 1.01c) to +106-110hp and torque gains from +105tq (revision 1.01c) to +130tq. We also addressed the "dip" in the early torque band and horsepower dip at redline that is noticeable on even competitors tune(s).
Like all of our revision(s), those who are already equipped with our software get the upgrade for no additional charge.
Power Plot: (stock -vs- revision 1.01c -vs- *NEW* revision 1.02b)
Power Plot: (stock -vs- *NEW* revision 1.02b)

We will keep MBWORLD members as well as our fellow C450 enthusiast informed as we will continue to do products and software development on this vehicle.
ENJOY!

You will need to send the ECU into them. Their turn around time should be same day. I would check with AMR to confirm
Cajun ,
Any chance they are sending you one to compare to the other tune. An apples to apples comparison on dyno and trap speed would be sweet. I am almost worried this maybe too aggressive on stock fuel system. Hard to believe Amg left over 150hp ( not wheel) on the table.

I am dynoing the car this Monday and sending the Ecu off Tuesday morning.
We are proud to present our track results for our Stage 1 ECU Software upgrade (tune) using "Revision 1.02b".
On Sunday (06/26/16) we decided to take our Mercedes Benz C450 AMG to the drag strip. Every track we contacted had a race event. However, Lebanon Dragway stated they can fit in a couple cars for some test runs during their event. We piled up into the C450 and took the 2hr drive.
Once getting to the track, the rush was on! They announced test-and-tune to come to the lanes immediately so we had to suit up and get on the move.
The weather was not fun at all. Brutal 98+ degrees, at one point hitting 102ºF, sticky black top, icky heat, horrible humidity, second guessing the decision between pool and track. Conditions we would not recommend anyone racing their vehicle in.
We got into the staging lanes and immediately were moved up to run. The vehicle performance was amazing. Proving to us again that the C450 is an excellent platform. In the most extreme and harsh environment, the vehicle put down a 12.3et at 112mph. The excitement with this vehicle continues to fuel our staff. There is still some ET and MPH to gain. With slightly better conditions there is no doubt the vehicle can definitely shave another .15-.25 off the ET and gain an additional 4-5mph.
We have some gopro footage from inside the vehicle. We can post it later today.
Special thanks goes to:
F1 Motorsports (www.F1MS.net) - The F1 team for coming out on a Sunday and enjoying an unscheduled day with us. True enthusiast and such a great spirited team.
Lebanon Dragway - For allowing us to make a test pass during an event day. Great track and really great down-to-earth people.
- Robert

AMR the torque is a bit high for the C450 are there any concerns with the Torque converter or heat?
That is a good question. With our Stage 1, no concerns at all.
Our stage 2 is in progress and in final stages of testing. We have spent numerous hours to ensure nothing is overlooked in regards to safety while increasing the vehicle's performance output. Stay tuned to see what our stage 2 package will consist of
