Ok, I am surprised that someone can't read a dynograph, no offense, just surprised.

Simple enough.

1. The top 2 curves represent hp at certain rpm, so the ECU tune will get a peak 329hp@5600rpm compared to stock 306@5600rpm.

2. The bottom 2 curves are torque, so 362lbft@ 4000rpm tuned compared to 336lbft@4000rpm stock. Calculation of 0.734lbft=1Nm.

It's too danm small for my eyes.

Wow, so +23whp from the ECU and +28tq. Looks strong...i guess the AMS reps were wrong when they said 25whp is unrealistic. Can't wait for the 550's

We know how to read dyno charts but those are not real world dyno chart!!!! Those are just dyno graph that show "flywheel" hp which anyone can make one. Real world dyno charts would shows "RWHP" and Air fuel ratio based on RPM. Believe me, I want to do these mods too but NO ONE ever post dyno before and after !!! All we heard from a couple people that did the mods said that it work based on *** DYNO !!!!!! In my opinion, what they felt were from the throttle mods in the ECU (like the sprint booster). I spent thousands and thousands dollars (over $20K on the CL 55) to mods every single cars I own (Slk 230, Clk430, CL55 and Clk500, Honda civic). These ECU mods is less then $200 and I don't feel good doing the mods because nothing show that it work in term of hp gains. So it not about money.

Rear wheel horsepower is flywheel horsepower minus drivetrain loss, so the difference in horsepower that the tune gives us should be roughly the same regardless of whether we are talking about HPrw or HPf. Right?

even if i gain 10-15 whp and wtq i am still getting it plus the speed limiter will be removed.
our cars are fairly light in the Mercedes line up of cars so that extra power will do us good.

Ahh i forgot that was a graph of a CLK500 not a 550. I though it was the whp for a 550. Sooo i stand corrected, untill i see a dyno from a company this tune is crap

IF you get 10-15whp and wtq then that's great. I'd love to see a dyno and i hope you do get those numbers because if you do i'll do the tune. But at this time i'd rather pay a few dollars more and get a Powerchip that has a dyno and a good rep.

That's what I figured. Doesn't make sense to shell out 1k more because you don't have a dyno

Call Ed at HMS. What he quoted me will be different than the price you'll get but it the tune will run 6-8 bills max for you.

To each his own. I'll play it safe, hopefully you guys can get some good power out of this tune and find it reliable...and if you do i'll be the first to call SpeedTunning...untill then power chip it is for me. I'd rather pay 3-4 bills more knowing my 50k car is running safe.

Rear wheel horsepower (rwhp)= is measured the hp at the rear wheel when the whole car is on the dyno machine. Flywheel horsepower = is measured the hp of the engine alone with out the whole chassis. Another words, the engine is not install in the car but on a fixture when they dyno it.

Really? And i'm sure you talked to the many customers with the GL550 who tuned their car -not-. Over tuning or not i'd rather be safe than sorry. Don't wanna sit with the pink slips to the car and a blown engine...that's just me.

Get a tune and dyno and a lets see how you like it so i can make a wise decision.

How would seeing an official Dyno for a 550 prevent you from blowing your engine?

it wouldn't...but having 3-4 550s with this tune would put me at more ease rather than being a guinea pig of the company
