Best ECU upgrade available for the C55?
Basically, I'm looking for the ECU that gives the greatest horse power and torque increase? Are there any that can give a 50hp and 50lb-ft boost?

To get those kind of gains from a chip alone, it would have to be forced induced (Super/turbocharged)... In other words, a chipped C32 can say bye-bye to a C55.....

According to powerchip there upgrade gives you 25hp and 26lb-ft more. Does anyone know if brabus or kleemann offer an upgrade without getting the supercharger?

Best bet would be the Renntech ECU.

Any way a dealer would know that you have upgraded fuel curves? Been considering this upgrade.
