Definitely! thanks for the reference to K1. I'm going to shoot them an e-mail. Hopefully I can get a couple more ponies out of my C350.

OK. So, it's been a week since I got my ECU tuned with the SI software. Here are my thoughts.
Power - We all know that there are various ECU tunes out there. Powerchip is the other big one and it also advertises larger HP gains. I went with the SI tune beacause although it's down on peak HP numbers, the TQ numbers are higher. Although I haven't seen dyno charts of both, this most likely means that the SI tune was done to give a broader, fatter power curve. Driving the car around town reflects this as it seems to have gained quite a bit down low and a bit less at full boil. The car feels very strong from about 1,800rpms and up.
Drivability - This was the only thing I was nervious about when getting an ECU tune done. I'm glad to report back than other than the increase in power, the car behaves no differently than before. It dosen't sputter or feel any different at idle. There are no unusual sounds and no CEL.
Big thanks goes out to K1, SI and Gintani for my ECU tune!!!!!! I love it and the only issue is I want to go back in the car and take it for another spin!
