Is there a reason to switch my tune?
I have Powerchip and so far everything seems great, but with the "less than positive" press these days and some other posts I've read suggesting to matchup one's tune with the manufacturer of your headers (in my case the MBH long tubes), are there people out there who mixed and matched setups but alternatively found that car performed better when everything came from one "shop" so to speak?

simply speaking...YES since you have the MBH longtubes(Like I do:D)..I would suggest dynocomp software, OE tuning, or modernhorsepower. |

Contact James at ACG San Diego...they have a header matched tune specifically for the MBH longtubes. I couldn't be happier with my results and drivability.

The actual programming takes less than 5 minutes. Maybe 10. If they have a live person doing the program and not using canned programs, it might take another hour assuming the guy is available on the other end of the phone. This is what happened when they did my wife's C300.

James can dyno the car, load his tune on the dyno, and dyno again so you know the difference between PC and his tune!!

Id love to see some pics of your car with those rims
|
I have an OE tune and I love it! I also like the great support that comes with the tune. Jeremey is allways there to answer any questions.
|
I would go with OE Tuning, but If James has a tune matched for MBH LTH's then that would be your best bet.

I recommend matching headers and tune too.
I switched to an MHP tune and went faster at the track in much worse weather. Still have MBH Headers but I have MHP headers ready to install for the fall and fully expect to be even faster after the header swap. https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...o-changed.html |

Nice! Thanks. Are there posts on here where people illustrate their gains from OE's tune?
Here is my dyno sheet. https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...oe-tuning.html |

Thanks! Are those numbers for your car stock vs. tune-only, or do you have other performance mods besides the tune?
At that time (besides the tune) I only had a 2ndary cat delete (Straight pipes) everything else was stock. |

You wont be disappointed with his tune. |

Can't go wrong with Jeremy at OE Tuning or James at ACGSD...I've been a happy customer of both and had each of their tunes. If I didn't have the Buttonwillow event on Saturday I would definitely stop by to check out your car and results.
Good luck! |
