Not sure what you're willing to spend, but Renntech is a solid MB/AMG tuner with a long history, and they are in your backyard (S. FLA).

The head dude at Renntech looked at my C32 and personally told me "We dont make products for your vehicle as C Class owners don't like to spend money!"

Hartmut Feyhl said that to you? Seems odd - they make a ton of product for "C Class owners" - both w203 (still) and w204. Heck, the website even mentions the w202 AMGs and requests to "call" them for options.

Here're the w203 options, from their site:

http://www.renntechmercedes.com/c_203.php

Don't get me wrong, Renntech is pricey stuff for a C32 owner to justify... but it seems to be available to consumers (your comment seems to suggest otherwise). The big pluses with going that route is 1. peace of mind with Renntech's warranty coverage on their hardware and software, and 2. they are local to the OP (which can be huge for convenient post-sales support, if necessary).

FWIW, I don't have any Renntech power mods... just some Monolite wheels... but I do respect and appreciate their legacy and offerings. YMMV of course.

Not Helmut, (hes actually a real nice guy and mentioned he liked how my car looked at the Eurotech BBQ) The head sales dude Bob said that in front of me and two other members here.

In the pre_Eurocharged Days before a bunch of us inquired about group tuning package and of course group pricing...... (we had 5 guys willing to do a tune) which we were quickly shot down an his response was that above. He even badmouthed his up and coming competition and their product offering.

He also told me they had thousands of R&D hours into their products. If you have ever seen their facility, its not fancy at all. A Dyno,a couple of bays, and a decent showroom. For comparison a really nice showroom is the Champion Motorsports Porsche Facility.

ya bob is a dick
i was there for a tune b 4 i put my headers on and he was like "your set up will make your car slower"
then i went back with a dyno sheet and a time slip and showed him i went from 14.0 stock to a 13.2 with my set up
and he told me a $1500 tune would give me 10 crank hp
but if i pay $3500 i can get 20hp
