Speedriven experience.

Does anyone have experience working with Speedriven? They claim very large gains from there software upgrade. I have a 2003 CL600. I don't live near them and the process sounds good. Thank you in advance!

Addressing the "very large gains" from the CL600, the 600 biturbo cars were underrated fro the factory, and have artificially low boost to help A. maintain reliability and limit warranty costs, and B. distance them from the 65AMG program, which was developed at the same time from its 100%-owned-by-Mercedes AMG cash-cow.

Bumping boost to a very manageable number on pump gas yields huge results on turbo cars, and the drivetrain of the 600 is beefy enough to stand up to the 65 AMG black series and WELL beyond. Really almost no issues there.

What is the stock boost on a non AMG bi-turbo v12?
And what is the boost after the tune?

Post some videos!
That would be awesome to see 0-60 stock compared to after the tune.
Why no one has done this yet I have no idea because that block tuner makes it so easy to go from stock to fast....

CL65 AMG, RS6
I am very pleased with speedriven's flash and the block tuner is easy. I have had the tune for 2 days, and my cl65 is whole other animal now. I am trying to line up a dyno next 2 weeks, and I will post the results, interested in seeing the delta from stock. Marcin is very helpful and takes the time discuss technical issues, couldnt be happier.

Thank you for the info. I was planning to call to get more info. The car is fast but you can always have more power!

Thank you for the feedback. Good luck with your car. I think it appears to be the best bang for your money. When I supercharged my Z06 it too became another animal. It is fun!
