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....

I am guessing just a street in Mexico. I particularly like little runs on El Camino Real

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.
