honestly, i doubt the effort to tune the ECU is any less than for the cars with the larger engines, but to pay the same price for the similar job and to get less results doesn't make sense for me. i think it only makes sense to charge less for the 1.8L m271. anyone else agree?
It takes the same amount of work though, I think...

yeah i said that it probably does take the same amount of work... it probably does for the c55amg too, and they charge almost $1000 for that. even if it does take a little more effort, i doubt its reflected in the price difference. therefore, i am just saying i think it would be more reasonable to charge less for the 1.8L because the result is dramatically less.

am i alone on this?

Thanks Jon. That's still the case; I'm planning to send the ECU on April 3rd.

C350 Speed Innovation ECU Tuned

I just got my ECU tuned today and so far I'm quite happy with it. I can feel the slight increase in HP but I don't know how much. You can feel a good increase in acceleration and throttle response especially from 0-60 and 80+.
