Does speetuningusa have a ECU flash for your C? He did my CLK and I am very happy with the performance upgrade.

$25 per HP, not too bad for an upgrade. Certainly cheaper than the other ones I looked at.

i was talking to PowerChip a while back...here is the last email correspondence i had with them...

This is a follow-up to my earlier email with the link to the performance datasheet for your Mercedes-Benz C300 3.0 (PDF file*). In case you didn?t see it, here it is again: http://www.powerchipgroup.com/datasheets/2/Mer0386.pdf

We also have a corporate brochure available for download which explains our development process and other interesting information. There is both a .pdf and also an E-book version that are just over 2Mb in file size. To download a copy, follow this link: http://www.powerchipgroup.com/interact/brochure.asp

I reviewed the information you sent about your car, your local octane ratings and your driving style. I recommend Powerchip's Gold 93 upgrade. It's the best choice for your needs.

It's easy to add this performance enhancing technology to your car. Click here to start the process https://www.powerchipgroup.com/produ...sp?pid=Mer0386 Your order is RISK-FREE and backed by a FULL warranty and 100% satisfaction guarantee. (If ordering link is unavailable, please send an email withy your contact details and one of our Power Consultants will contact you!)

To help you decide, answers to frequently asked questions from people just like you are here: http://www.powerchipgroup.com/faq/faq/index.asp

Do you have a question related to your C300 3.0. Feel free to call or reply to this email. But please make your question specific to the Powerchip, rather than other modifications. This will help me get back to you faster

Thank you for your interest in Powerchip!

Sincerely,

Wow, I haven't heard the name speed tuning USA in a long time. They did the chip for my turbo S beetle when it first came out. Good people to deal with.

I just found out that Speed Innovation guy used to work with EuroRev. He started his own company, but they are still working closely together. I had my W211 done there before. It's not bad.
Price is fair. I would suggest going to them.
I do have one question... will mod ECU void the warranty?
My old dealer never really detected the mod when i had my W211.
My new dealer is very **** about aftermarket parts. They alreardy gave me shxt about H&R spring and wheels...

ones too fast according to CHP!
Powerchip software is in fact available.

$690 retail.

Power: 268 stock / 278 91 Octane / 284 93+ Octane

I have a data sheet that I can email anyone who is interested.

Thanks
Brad

BTW, VRP as well as many other tuners do not tune, they resell Powerchip or another software provider..
