NA vs FI. FI always has greater gains from tunes...unless your running a 6L v8 NA.

haha 6L vette! FTW

but ya like he said, since the FI are already pushing in tons more air the engine isn't as much starved as it sits. With a tune to the ignition and timing of the spark you get even better explosion.

For the rest of the East-Coasters:

Step 1: Find someone's car to borrow for 3 days, or look up a bus schedule.
Step 2: Call Powerchip Group and talk to them about the rates and they will email you instructions for removing your ecu.
Step 3: Gas up your car with 93 Octane if you haven't already.
Step 4: Remove and then bubble-wrap up your ECU and FedEx it OVERNIGHT to PCG.
Step 5: They call you for your CC info, program your ECU, and overnight it back to you same day.
Step 6: Reinstall your ECU.

When I called, someone named Mat picked up and knew exactly what I was talking about.

All I said was that I saw the group buy on the Mercedes Benz forum.
