. My Grandparents lived there for 15 years or so, the "smokies" were not too kind with the "outlaws" 
I've actually never been pulled over in MD.

The deed is done here on my C400 with PP Performance Tune courtesy of AutoTalent in Carson, CA.
There's no longer a limiter...I tested it with complete stability at 145 MPH before slowing down on a controlled track.
The performance "feel" is drastic. The engine not only sounds slightly louder, it's performance boost is staggering.
The Dyno registered a 416 HP Output and 423 Ft/Lbs Torque. That's amazing because the PP Performance "stock"
After we raced it on the track, we got some stellar numbers. This is using 245/19's (Front) and 265/19's (Rear) with Michelin Pilot Super Sports and SPORTS+ Activated for both Airmatic Suspension and Acceleration:
0-60 MPH: 4.2 Seconds
0-100 MPH: 11.00 Seconds
0-130 MPH: 17.2 Seconds
Quarter Mile: 12.45 Seconds at 113 MPH
Lateral Grip: 0.98 g (Not related but cool to know)
I noticed a 1-3 MPG drop in my daily driving, but it's also because I've been driving much more aggressively (no longer drive in Comfort). When I took this car to Vegas in Comfort, I still averaged around 26 mpg on the way there.
The PP Performance tune seems to bring in a new "whining" noise that sounds like a jet engine at 2700 RPM. It's a hell of a lot of fun to listen to it because thats when you go WHOOSH.
I beat out a douche driving an M4 on the road to Vegas. He was giving me looks and so we just went. No traffic. Straight line. Let's just say it was close, but still left him behind.
More to report soon! Let me know if you have questions. Hehe. Cancelled my order on a C63 S because of this.

That is absolutely phenomenal kowyzg0moo !!!! This is exactly what I'm looking for!!
My 2011 C63 ran a 12.6 once because I got the traction right... Then 12.9s without traction!
With the 4matic, it must be so consistent!!

Mid to high 12's is good to be on par with stock E550 4matic
even trap speed is just about the same.
Still would like to know how much boost the C450 will be running stock. I'm guessing about 11 /12 lbs. Stock is around 9 /10lbs on C400. Depending on fuel used.
OE is running max 16lbs
BMS Stage 1 run about over 14 lbs with some E85 (3 gallons) on Map 2. I can hit 16+ if I change some settings for custom tuning and E85 (3 gals)
I wonder what others run on piggy backs or ECU tuning.

The question was 'ever heard of race chip before', and when I looked at their site, they have things listed for the VW MKVI GTI, which I owned for years and I never heard of them.

If you'd like, you can PM me and I'll have my guy at AutoTalent in Carson reach out to you. I'm sure there's a way to ship it to you. ECU installs seemed pretty easy when I looked at it

Just wanted to see how you feel about this Tune now that you have had it for a while? Any problems or concerns? Has the dealer given you any trouble? I haven't been able to find any reviews of the PP Performance tune outside of yours. I believe this is an ECU flash, is that correct? How long did it take them to do it and what was you total cost?
Any further info would be greatly appreciated.

We are the shop that performed the tune. Please feel free to PM or email me at Golan@AutoTalent.com for any questions.

I still love it man. Never looked back. The dealers have not given me any flack for it at all.
It was an ECU Flash- yes. Took a day. Pricing was promo on me so you might want to ask the guys @AutoTalent

C400 with BMS stage 1 & K&N
had my BMS piggy-back for a year now and am absolutly happy with the performance increase.
I took it off last month when I took the car in for it's 1 year service A and immediately noticed the difference. I couldnt wait to get it back on.
I was contemplating getting the C450 or C43 but the C400 has everything I was looking for.
Bonus is I can take it off for the winter months (cold & lots of snow here in Alberta) and put it back on for spring.

Has anybody seen the eurocharged tune? Claims 503hp/565tq. I'm assuming those are crank numbers. Pricey but definitely seems worth it.
