Stage 1 Issue

hey

Just remapped my c43 367 pre fl non opf on someone who has remaped others cars for me before and who i trust 100%, but this time i feel the car hasn't improved anything. The car wasn´t dynoed so we can't really measure improvement from there.

Is there any way to check the improvements? Should i really notice a stage 1 difference on these cars? The power meter from the CB is behaving the same as before, showing peaks of 270kw.

Any 100-200kph stage 1 times I could compare to?

regards

The “power meter” does not actually measure horsepower, so do not expect that to change with a tune. “Stage 1” is not a measurement, and the results will vary among and between different companies/tuners. For me, I saw a substantial improvement in my car’s acceleration when I went with my stage 1 tune. Best way to determine the increased performance of a car is taking it to a track or getting a Dragy to test the acceleration.

Well, i meant the car got a custom remap.

It also has KN filters and the amg performance exhaust. Car measured 11.5 seconds from 100 to 200kph (~60 to ~125 mph), with 95ron (98ron was not available at the time which it is the only gas it uses). Asked to remove limited which i already tested and it was successfull (280kph/174mph at least).
