ECU Tuning

Does anyone have good results from ECU tuning for the 55?

There's a place in Orlando that does ECU tuning for around $499 (if you go to their shop) and another $100 for the cable if you want to do it yourself via download.

Just want to know if this is worth the price in terms of performance gain, economy etc.

5-600 is a bit steep for a NA tune with no dyno. 300$ is about the going price for these.

Is it worth it? Yeah, sure, if you get a good one. Better throttle response, slightly better economy, slightly more power. Read my review of the OE tune I posted a while ago.

My younger cousin has a CLK 55 and I sent him to AMR Performance. AMR tuned my C43 and I love it, so I send everyone that is interested in tuning to my guys over there.

As far as I know, he loves the car and really enjoys the extra throttle response and quicker shifts. He went there and got programmed for 4 or 5 hundred bucks, which I believe is very reasonable.

Just my two cents lol good luck with the car

I flashed my 55 a few months ago and every day I appreciate it more and more. Lower end torque is far better and some day I plan to visit 155+.....
