DME Tune
#26
I have a EC Tune, so far no issues, but I always wondered about DME and almost went with them, but had already purchased. Anyway, do they just put the tune on there, or do hey give you a MyGenius handheld so you can add and remove at will? Last, do they DYNO the car before and after or make any changes individual to each car by data logging, driving it? Or do they just have a tune they have worked up that they use based on mods?

I just got my DME stage 2 tune last week. Make sure you change your spark plugs on your tuned cars every 10k miles currently my car is running a tad rough..i can also confirm that DMEs Tune Pulls hard, I had the euro charged tune as well, and there's no comparison. plus the customer service at DME is top notch, Good guys

I added my WC Stg 2 Tune at 21,000 miles. I didn’t plan on messing with plugs and Jerry didn’t tell me to do anything.
What PLUGS are you guys changing them to Specifically? Specs/Brand?
Why are you guys changing plugs? Was something happening. Or is it a Proactive Step to help with eliminating Detonation?
Are you just going to a colder plug? Any potential negative with swapping plug?

I notice on DME tuning website it shows the 2020 C63s produces less HP than the 18' and 19' model years? Or am I misunderstanding something?
Shows the 2020 model producing 469HP whereas the previous model year producing 503. Guessing it's a typo.
For people who have the DME tune for their C63s Coupe, have any of you run into warranty issues with your dealership when you take it in for service?

honestly I just had my 2020 C63s tuned by DME last week I had my Computer flashed (stage2) catless.. This past weekend I dyno measured the car....... not happy at all. The car made a measly 509WHP. The car comes with 503HP I understand that there is a 12% loss of power from engine to wheel I get that.
then what doesn’t help is that I messaged them because honestly that number is trash... spend $2,300 to make the same amount of HP your car comes with from factory? Lol like I said I understand the 12% loss.. my stock C63s before the mods made 460HP on the dyno. Because of the 12%.... but supposedly they are “tested and proven” but they don’t advertise “crank” as well. DME TUNING IS VERY MISLEADING. And upon buying the tune the representative never told me that I need to spend another $2000 on a CPC unlock in order to actually feel a great difference in the performance of the vehicle. If they would have been honest with me I wouldn’t have bought the tune because why would I spend this amount of money on a tune that I won’t be able to feel? unless I spend another $2000 for the CPC to feel the DME tune... let’s be honest here... 500 WHP is extremely disappointing when they promise 650HP/730TQ they are very misleading like I said I understand the 12% loss but this tune is not worth $2300 maybe half of that would be a good deal. Extremely disappointed.
ooooh yeah they basically told me to screw myself if I want the stock tune back and I would have to pay them five hours labor (about $600) to remove the computer and put it back in.
honestly I learned my lesson to trust DME tuning I’m cutting my losses with them I’m not even going to ask for my money back I’m just gonna take my business elsewhere.

Though 509whp is low for a tuned W205, you gained roughly 50whp over stock. The tune is clearly uploaded on the car. They may have been referring to an additional transmission tune to hold more power capacity than your current software. Like mentioned earlier, the ECU tune is clearly uploaded on the car, there could be other factors that caused it to be low. What gas were you running? When did you last change spark plugs, was car misfiring at all? What was the temperature out when on the dyno, was there dyno fans set up on the car? Why don't you post the dyno sheet (stock dyno and tuned dyno if you can).

Sounds like you've never modded a car.

I was very specific on any prerequisites I needed to see that power. I kind of feel like they gave me a stage 1 instead of 2... lol and also I’m not really new at this I also have a 900WHP Cressida I built myself as well.. I just didn’t tune it my self lol and I’m running 93 brand new spark plugs, no misfires. I’m in Ny so it was pretty chilly last weekend maybe low 40s and yes sir I shall post up both sheets
Looking forward to seeing your graphs, let's look at the delta and power curves as well and not just the peak figures.

was going to go with dme but went with a tuner by the name of kirklandhans , great tuner and great customer service. Dyno'd at 522whp and 580wtq on pump gas . He also gave me a map for race gas which will bump me up to 550/560whp.

A few weeks ago I was looking at where to do Stage 1. Finally, after a lot of reading and comparing (DME, Kirklandhans, Renntech, Kleemann, Weistec... And more) I decided on PP-Perfomance by Jimmy Pelka. The car works perfectly, but with that extra power I was looking for and have an ak47 in sport+ :-) I recommend it. I still don?t understand very well what provides the CPC unlocking if you already have a Stage 1 or 2 What are the benefits of having the CPC unlocked?

Recent dyno
Recently dynoed my 2017 c63s. 52K miles. Stock turbos. Stage 2 DME tune with 200 cell catted downpipes and modal works intakes.
Mustang dyno:
568 hp @5300 rpm
633 ft/lb @5100 rpm
Of course power drops off very hard after 5500.
BTW this car is for sale if anyone is interested. Houston, TX.

Just curious, where did you get your tune done? I am also in NJ. Which dealership did you go to? I have been wanting to tune my c43 but was afraid I would lose my warrenty.
