And how much power are you making? your probably not even close to the stock limits.. I'll bet you 50 bucks if you put his tuning on your car it will feel like it did going from stock to your tune but going from your tuned state to his tune.

tobeit

don’t know exactly but they are all around the same gain. Tuners provide reference curves for their tunes, which are typical. What do you even mean with close to “stock limits”? You mean limits you can tune up stock internals and tranny before it explodes? If so, I don’t want to be close to that but have plenty of margin.

I heard somebody blew their engine in your glc club

It's clear some tuners can custom a tune around my preferred characteristics.

With your comment to do a lot of research on tuners, this is exactly why a chart could work. Which tuners are OTS/custom/both, handheld option, unmarry capable / resellable, etc., could be on a single page for people to decide which path they want to go down to then research more about that tuner. Is there an OTS handheld tune that is more linear (I guess Carbahn)?

I did have some good success with EC going stage 1.5 (pulley, tune, filters, HE's) with my W211 E55 back in the day

You are not supposed to talk about that outside of our group...

We have 2 blown engines right now but we have some guys really pushing the limits.

I am keeping the "It will never happen to me" philosophy....

I am not going to mention any names but this is one of our really aggressive guys:

The JB4 is fully compatible with 2021 models.

Thank you for the information. The JB4 requires more than just a hand held tune. Is this still something you can do in your driveway?

this popped up on my google last week, pretty impressive runs until the last one. I thought it was my buddy Nuv at first. He's got a stage II GLC 63 that's pretty quick!

ParadigmDawg

He is my buddy too. He is fast.

Us out and about a couple weeks ago

ParadigmDawg

That's my Zac Intake on his car.

Do some google searches, you will get your answer. Assuming you are a real account ofcourse and not some fake account made by them, which they are famous for.

boosted20v

I saw it at Tx2k, beautiful!

ParadigmDawg

Yep, a fake account with 630 posts....

Like I said earlier, I am in a club of 75 GLC and we have about every tune there is among us. If you have something to say, say it vs just saying to Google something and no reference of what exactly we are googling....that way you can help us all out.

munis

They have had fake accounts with a few hundred posts before. Just search the E63s thread about this.

ParadigmDawg

Who is they?

And if "they" are fake...like me....and provide as much different information and hold the level of interest in any kind of AMG...then who cares?

Can you be more specific and say in what ways? Each of us is looking for a specific result based on their preconceived desires or expectations.

How was the car before the upgrade? Where was it lacking? And then after the upgrade? What did you like and what were it’s shortcomings?

Your answers would help us.

How is a Carbahn tune only $1000 when most others are $2000+!?!? Not that a lower price is bad but this is a big difference so there must be a catch?

boosted20v

Hell why do any of them charge what they do to flash a computer for that matter? Why does Renntech charge so much more? From what I've gathered Carbahn's tune is quite a bit milder that most others so seat of the pants you may not feel as much of a difference. Just my opinion but I think they priced it accordingly, that and they are they new guy trying to break in. I'm very interested in seeing some dyno/draggy numbers from someone who's gone with them.

untamedd

looking at their website it does not look like their tune is a mild one or any different than others. Their tuned numbers are pretty much in line with other tuners. Only difference is their price is less than half and they also do not provide any dyno charts on their website.

ParadigmDawg

Because the owner will change the name of his company within a year and move on under a different name.

Research your tuners.....

Also, if you are looking at their Stage 1 tune, it is just a piggy-back.

boosted20v

Not true, it's a true flash with a handheld, the Dinan Stage 1 was a piggy back. Yes this is Steve's new company.

ParadigmDawg

You are correct. So with a hand-held and a warranty it is $1800 which is about like other tuner pricing.

boosted20v

True, but at the end of the day I want to see some draggy numbers. I spoke with them on the phone a couple of times and in the end went another route for a tune. I am still intrigued though. There are at least two cars on here that I believe just went with them.

boosted20v

It's on sale right now, $1039 without the warranty, either way it is cheaper than most.
