I view it as a fair start for Dinan and hope they go to the next level.

The porch is safer when you don't have a dog in the hunt cuz some folks shoot like Dick Cheney.

Perhaps the electrons in 450's unit are to blame since the power in Miami isn't hydro, and usually from coal.

I'm just sayin'....

Nop the Jb is doing 12.6 in the 1/4mille on a C400 proved this is what 4 pounds do....i b. my self for not get the jb

How about the Renntech ECU unit? Not cheap but seems like it would get the job done.

Why did you go with the Dinan if you had a good experience with the JB? Because of Dinan's reputation?

For those that gotta know how many acres the chickens range on, I can provide this: I get .3 miles per gallon improvement with Mercedes C and Dinan, s+, but, like indicated airspeed, there may be an explanation other than efficiency.

Oh, man, I just hit a dog in the road....

i have one of the best technician of the industry in FL , but he charge me $1500 for the tune i only going to have the car for a couple of year and i dont want to pay the money , i offer to him $1000, that i consider is good enough for a couple of hours of work , he transform the car to 480Bhp and 530Blbs/tq

Nobody has to know. Your chickens are entirely your business.

RTC450

i will say yes and the same time im stupid 😃

Mike5215

Yeah, ya gotta pay to play. I think that Renntech thing at $2400 comes with a drive-train warranty. For that money I hope so.

RTC450

$2400 for 405bhp nooooooooo,,,, this is the same power that our Dinan sell to us jajajajjajajajaa

Mike5215

Nah. You rolled the dice. Didn't work out. My garage and attic are littered with the refuse of bad dice rolls in the $250 to $500 range. Sell the thing on EBay for $150. Take the hit and move on, and get the thing you wanted in the first place.

Sound advice.

RTC450

I was ready to buy the JB stage 1 but 1) they stopped development 2) the dinan unit had come out and i liked the ability to switch the boost levels.

I'm curious as to what else is tuned on the JB since there are 3 plugs vs our 1 plug Dinan units.

Also, was there ever a dyno on the JB?

RTC450

No Dyno numbers , is difficult to found a real awd dyno in some areas but a couple of guys have drag 1/4 mile number in the 12.6s that are very good for the c450 (i guess 40-50whp) good enough to make you smile!!
Stock #s 13-13.1

I paid a technician in florida 2000 and told me i gained 100 hp to motor abd 80 to wheel. He was recommended by a colleague of mine that flashes all his cars

RTC450

Migx27

C450. Now its a rocket

RTC450

White?? In West Palm??

Miami

RTC450

Ohh send me a message in private I'm in miami too i will love to see the difference with mine .

Mike5215

A guy who takes $1,000 and flashes your ECU to dramatically increase horsepower? What could possibly go wrong

no dyno figures from berger, yet you want to buy it because "some guys" say its good. Atleast Dinan has an AWD dyno. It amazes me that some are bent over "up to 40 hp" yet they "perceive" they didn't get anything close to that, yet the only dyno figures posted are from way back when it was first released. Its $300!. Seriously if you only gained 20HP for $300 you are ahead of the game, you wont get anywhere near that with an intake and an exhaust combined HP wise and you spent a ton of $$!. yet some don't want to recommend it based on sheer perception . Everyone has an opinion and I get that, but to suggest another manufacturer has a better product with nothing to back that up either seems short sided to me. Not to mention those guys got fined a crap load of $$ from the cal air resources board for doing shady things.. that in itself is enough for me NOT to buy anything from them
