What's up guys...I missed the GB last month on this so I contacted Matt Bekam, VP of Operations over at Powerchip Group, Inc and he told me that to get the $350 price, we have to get at least 10 people in on it. I'm in, so that's only 9 needed to get this done.

Please reply ASAP so we can get in on this.

1. Alex T. 08 C300
2. thepinoc
3. Klinh 2006 Clk 500.
4. Castr0 (filcastro@comcast.net) C300
5. fredfromny
6. rb23lb 2008 c350
7.
8.

Here is his information so that if you have specific questions, you can contact him directly:

REGARDING PAYMENT

We take cash on site when we tune, and mail in ecu's need to pay shipping. We tune and ship same day we receive the out of state ecu.

Thank You,

GREAT OFFER...GET IN ON IT!!

We tune every model benz you can think of but the $350 price will only be for the cars with V6's and 4cylinders. Basically the 300's, 350's, 230's, etc.

For the 500 and 550 benz's we normally charge $990, but we'll do those for $500 to help you fill up that list.

Thank You,
Powerchip Group, Inc.

What about the 430's? I do realize it's within the v8 m113 engine bracket along with the 500's, but it's worth a shot... Consider me 100% in on this if they'll do $350 for my 43, if not... eh. we'll see. lol

Kinda scary here guys.....


In standard form, the SLK350 3.5 produces 359 hp and 187 lb.-ft.

Powerchip has a range of chips to suit your car, which can increase it's power to between 373 hp and 380 hp, and it's torque to between 194 lb.-ft and 198 lb.-ft.

Before I sign up, can someone please explain the 91 octane vs 93 octane difference for the tune. I saw someone mention it last time, but didn't quite understand the what the difference between the two were.

If we go with the 91 oct is it less of an improvement in the tune from the 93 oct?

I am seriously considering getting it done with the next group buy since the others seemed so happy with it. I have been experiencing that awful lag in acceleration lately and would like to get that fixed.

My advice for those who are getting it done on site, take cash so you can save the $32.00 on taxes.

Cash $350.00
Plastic $382.00

You got lucky, you would have been spanked by the w203!!!

As for your sound card, I'll be happy to take a look at it but if drivers aren't installing and doesn't show in device manager then most likely sound card got screwed.

This is no problem you can buy a USB sound card for real cheap. Sorry I had to leave on short notice, the kid had school the next day I did win the G35

What's 0-62 in 13 seconds doing..have you talked to him?
