Juicee63 and Trez63 Help!!!!

Is there a company that does better at programing ECU's than Renntech? If so, who is the company, have you used them, and what is the difference in power? My ECU is being pulled tomorrow and if I need to send it somewhere else besides Renntech, Somebody please let me know...

DEFINATELY go with RennTech, they are the BEST. Just make sure you dyno the car before the ECU tune and then re-dyno after the ECU tune to see how much you've gained and where (low, mid, or high rpm range).

My friend with an SLK32 flashed his car with powerchip, Kleemann, RennTech, and even some independent tuning shops, and RennTech was by far had the best gains and best feel to the car.

are you doing other modifications?

Just make sure you dyno your car before and after the tune, if there is no real hp improvement get your monies back.

a car that gets very poor gas mileage.
How many days is RennTech saying this procedure will take?
Like others have said, get a pre and post dyno and don't forget to put that beast in dyno mode.

If Renntech states hp gains ,then there are hp gains. They are one of the best in the bizz. If they did not have any gains they would be out of bizz. I have the Headers and ECU. Will be doing dyno next weel I hope. Yes Renntech does do alot of reaserch Let usknow what you think when you get it installed.

I talked to a buddy/performance shop owner last week about this!! Its just really hard to find enough people willing to Mod these cars. Ofcorse we at (MBWORLD) would! But we are just a small number compared to other car vendors out there. My Buddy runs a shop base here in the DC Metro area called Custom Performance Engineering and he has all the equipment to do what we all seem to want done to our cars. The problem is! ...Well he asked me would it really be worth him to put the R&D into it and so I told myself "thats a good question". So really guys!!! If he was willing to do some R&D on my car CLS63 and get some good performance numbers on the Dyno and buttOmeter .... Would you guys be interested in Buying his Product?.... Like I said his shop has been around for 5+yrs and they just finished a BMW 335i product and plenty of lower-end cars. I'm not sure if I can post his Site here so I won't for now. If your interested in researching his company just PM me and I will give you his website. and O yeah! If I didn't trust him enought I wouldn't let him do the R&D on my CLS63.... trust me! But I can honestly say it would be worth it If... and I say IF he can come up with the SAME or BETTER numbers at a rate Cheaper then what i see out online now for our cars.
