save yourself. Buy either AMR or Eurocharged, if you want a full tune, if not, a JB4. I would also spend a little time looking through the site to see opinions on each. There are other tunes, like racechip and Dinan, but they don't compare.

Personal opinion, based on real data, I would avoid AMR, so Euro or JB4.

Having said that, what are you looking for in a tune?

Someone gave me one for free that was mapped for my model car and I could definitely tell a difference and its just the Racechip S. You have to ask yourself how fast do you really wanna go and can you really go that fast where you're gonna be driving it. If you live in the city, why waste a **** load of money on a tune? etc etc. But like I said, I can definitely feel a big difference on my C450. I cant imagine what a JB4 would be like lol

I agree with @Howyalivin for the same price as Racechip I would 100% go for JB4 with the bluetooth and phone app... So much more versatility and results, and if you decide to make mods, you can change maps accordingly to increase power.

For an extra $500, Eurocharged is totally worth it! Out of sight out of mind. That is what I have on my C450 and the car completely changed, in a great way and I absolutely love it, so much so I will be installing Stage 2 and downpipes this week.

What exactly do you have on your car? I have the MTS cool air intake and just the racechip S. I wanna open it up myself. Are you running E85 in it? Thanks and sorry about the 20 questions lol
