ECU is around $3500, with a gain of about 40hp and 30lbs TQ...then the headers are pretty expensive too...not sure about that..I know the ECU can be done in a day and shipped back to you..

Never having mod'd any of my MB's, but having done so in my vette, I can't get over these ECU tune prices. Isn't it just an upload of new data? (Fuel map, spark curve, air/fuel mix, throttle position, etc.) Just because it's MB, it's marked up 5000%?

My buddy with a z06 has this really cool software that allows him to plug his laptop into his car, take it for a spin and it plays EVERYTHING back to him, throttle position, rpm, speed, fuel and spark curve, and dozens of others and lets him modify any parameter he wants.

Anyone think there's some software like this available for us? Then we'd just need to understand the tuning adjustments (view settings on an already tuned car) and make the adjustments ourselves. (I hope our tuners friends aren't pissed at this message...) More importantly, as we make more adjustments to our car (intake/exhaust) we could always re-tune the ECU in lock step.

I was trying to understand this as well. I have an SVT cobra and my custom tune was only a fraction of the cost and it included dyno time as well.

The only thing that makes sense to me as to why these tunes are more expensive is the fact the market for them is so small, but 3500 is way out there.

The prices are absolutely ridiculous for AMG tuner parts. I would never spend $7,000 on a set of long tube headers for my E63,let alone $3500 for an ECU that will give you NO noticeable improvements at the dragstrip,nor will I spend $3500 for a set of RennTech mufflers.
JRCart spent ALOT ALOT ALOT of money on his CLK63 to get 70 more rwhp.It was easily the cost of a C350.....I just don't see it paying off for me to do that

Do you have the white C63?

Yeah, long tube headers and ecu tune are the only real performance mods out there at the moment. They are very expensive.
