I have records of rwhp, torque numbers & track numbers with another tune. I would be willing to send you my ecu if you can get more power safely and I would dyno it after your tune and post the results.

2005 C55 AMG
I'm in Houston, and have a stock C55 which I'd be willing to allow a "test tune" on. I also have access to a dyno for verified results.
However, the dyno shop owner also has a C55 and would like to have tuning done to his. He and I have had discussions on things we'd like to do to these cars via the tuning, if we had the access to do it. He's the premier LS1/LS2/LS3 tuner in the country, but unfortunately the software for GM programming doesn't work on the Benz.
Although we want more hp, one of my key things I'd want to change would be the shift firmness. I'm used to cars that shift firmly, and quickly, instead of the MB methodology of a soft, non-visceral shift.
Anyway, I'd be all over the tuning test if available. The dyno doesn't lie...
I would also get verified track results at Houston Raceway Park, which is a sea-level track.

AMG-Jerry,
I'm in NY within a long but doable drive of you. However, given my mods, I do not know if you can do anything more with my car. Let me know!!

Yeah, I wouldn't mind throwing a tune on that bad boy too. I was going to ask SAMAS, but I think he has a Renntech tune.
Would you be able to make the track event? How about getting her on the dyno?

Are you still looking for a C55? My friend and I just got back from PA with a great 05 for him. PM me with info if you are still interested.
