I did it for my 350 and i am very happy with it ... dont know about the 300 as i dont have one lol but from what i read they like the tune . Its a pretty big difference in performance but more importantly the car is a lot more fun to drive after the tune .

was part of the gb for the tune (couldnt pass up on the price) i have a c300 4matic and pretty much the tune just gets rid of the throttle lag. it also seemed a bit faster but not sure it could of me just making myself think it was. now that ive had it for awhile though i cant really tell a huge difference but thats because you will just get used to it. overall i think everyone who has done it likes it, that or they just dont post their complaints lol. what ever you choose to do gl and keep us posted.

I heard about this and how its possible to get it done without voiding the warranty, is this true? how much power did you get out of it? what chip did you use and how much did it cost in all? Thanks!

Confession time: Every time I hear someone utter the words "powerchip" on a forum I look up this interview with Wayne Besanko, laugh softly, and turn the page.
