What tune are you running?
Now that I think we're at a good pace with tuning on this platform, I thought it would be nice to see who is running what tune so we can all share our thoughts with the community. I think it will especially help members new to the M177 tuning scene.

Good thread.
I have been running ACM/DME tune for almost a year now. They are able to do this tune in house(north NJ) so was able to drop my car off in the morning and have a beast back that evening.
have the AWE catback and just installed filters a few weeks ago.
only been to the track a handfull of times in this car. and this is after 17 years of owing AWD cars so i cant launch for crap. before by best time was 12.2 @ 120mph after the tune 11.8 @ 124.7. I usually go out to island raceway which is literally in a corn field that has poor track prep. i have never even gotten under a 2 second 60 foot time. And yes this is all driver error since i cant break the SMASH and go habit from AWD car hahah.
Ran on a Mustang dyno earlier this year and put down 454 HP and 515 TQ

Tuned by Dime & i'm very happy! Zero issues! 640whp! Be careful of weistec, they originally "tried" to tune my car for downpipes and cracked the chip in the ECU and claimed the ECU was "locked" and i had to buy a new one out of pocket as they didn't take responsibility.

Once you guys get your cars tuned, is there any real world data logging? Seems a bit odd to me that there are so many out there tuning their engines and no datalogs... Especially at the high levels of hp you guys are putting out now

Wow that's insane! Can't believe they wouldn't take care of it for you... I expected much more from them -- they should really take better care of their niche market.

Supporting mods: Filters only
HP/TQ: Embargoed for now, but comparable peaks to other 'Stage 1' solutions. It's the areas under the curves for hp/tq that are outstanding.
1/4: Nothing measured yet.

Damn dude, we all know you're B-testing Dinan... why you have to rub it in so bad... 
Gotcha, makes sense if they're OTS maps... @guilty I meant when you connect a laptop or other dataloging device to the ECU while making runs (on the road, drag strip, etc) where you can log several parameters for further map adjustments and make sure the tune is running well on the car. But like Vic said, that's usually the case for custom tunes, not for over-the-shelf (OTS) tunes.
Yeah I'm glad you mentioned that... they're sure as hell off my list for future business.
I'm surprised, too. They're the only tuners that are really "local" to me (about an hour away) and I was considering them at some point. Though I'm straying away from flash tunes just because of warranty and inconvenience in case it gets over-written / updated by the MB stealership during maintenance.
Thats because almost all of these tunes are shelf tunes with tons of data logging's already done so the buyers, including me, dont need specific logs on our exact cars. When I do a custom dyno tune, Ill data log to make sure all the measurements are dialed.

Oh yes. I do have a custom tune and Steve already did all of that. In matter fact, he just did that again yesterday to make sure the new tranny is running smoothly. But whatever that data is, it looks like Chinese to me so I don't even bother lol.

BTW, what all R&D are they doing with this? Not to undermine all you've done with them, but... I hope they're testing the tune on more than just one car, one engine, for, maybe, a couple thousand miles in one environment (and in one annual season)...
Please tell me there's more R&D than just you (once again, don't mean to undermine).

They are; it's a pretty methodical test. There's a C63S coupe running around, also from this forum, with it. We're putting real miles on it and providing feedback.

Ill be honest, I'm looking into a c63 OR a GT. I'm jus trying to feel out the tuning market for the AMG. I know nothing about it. On the bmw side it's widespread.
This is all depending on if I can get a half decent lease deal. I have someone ready to take over my current lease right now.

If you're not trying to be the fastest and you just want a good daily that's fast enough, then sure, buy one. A tune only will add about 80hp.
