I know it resets the original pedal/throttle map, but not sure it change the WOT condition of the TB ... even small changes there would not effect power, as 95% open = 100% open ... standard industrial buttterfly valve curve.

If an "S" version of any Audi was only 1 1/2 length ahead of you, I would pretty much consider that a win.
Curious, any engine mods?

Hopefully you guys were waiting to run em at a track....

You have done very well. The Audi is V8 and 80hp more than the C350 and having in mind that it is 4x4 and S stands for Sport while your car is for comfort cruising, then if I were you - I would mock at him about that result.

Any V8 Mercedes will beat him...

If you want a good chance you need the intake manifold mod and the 82mm throttle body. do that with your current mods and get a re tune.

Just curious, what kind of gains did you see after the powerchip tune? A shelf tune no doubt?

Nice! thanks. I am looking at getting a C class of some sort that my wife would drive mostly, but I would slap a tune on it for me and powerchip would be my top choice. That is why I have been hanging out on the W204 boards. I have been learning a lot from you guys. My SL is dyno tuned by Jerry from Eurocharged. I don't list it, but my SL is about stage 3 in mods.
