Sounds like you're just playing with a/f ratios and timing.
If so, then it would be nice to see a HP/TQ curve in comparison to stock and see where you're gaining and (where you're losing). Thanks.

bradb1us - If they looked, they could tell... but they have no reason to be looking at your ECU unless you have something wrong with your motor... which you won't.
amr - This works the same way any software upgrade works... we optimize the car for a better A/F ratio and better timing. Our software upgrades make power across the ENTIRE power band.
Here are some dynos of cars we've tuned in the last week or so:
BMW 325i
Ferrari F355
And a Mercedes C230:

2002 CLK55 Cabriolet (DEAD: 1989 300E, 1984 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Convertible)
I'm looking at the C230 graph and at 4500 I see about a 5 HP increase.
Tell me why I would want to spend $800 (or $750 for a drive-in) to get 5 more HP? I must be missing something. (I'm also wondering why it's $800, when the E-class ECU tuning is $500.)
(Yes, I'm aware that the gains for a CLK 55 would probably be more than for a C-class, but humor me.)

A few factors:
-Yes, significantly higher power gains makes the software more valuable to our customers - which means they're willing to pay more for this software than the C230 software - which is being sold at $450.
-The ECU is more valuable on your car than a C230. So if we're going to warranty it, we have to charge a little bit more to account for that!

Thanks Jon. Can you make any guestimates as to what could be expected in a CLK 55, then? (I'm up in the Valley, and could do the drive-by shoo... erm, drive-in method 
)
(Please don't take this the wrong way - I was also asking about the $800 because my naïve view says "They're just reprogramming an EEPROM-on-Steroids, why is that so much money?". I guess if you are warranting the work, it has to be factored into the equation.)

You're not being naive at all, it's a very legitimate question.
One could say that even our $400 software is a lot of money to simply "flash" an ECU.
The truth is, you're paying for R&D. Each unit of Windows Vista costs pennies to burn on a CD and send you the documentation, you know
In order to develop this software, our supplier has to borrow or rent a car, pay for labor as they tune and play with the car, etc etc. This costs time and money 
Also, of course, there's the warranty thing I was telling you about
So, for your CLK55:
On 91 Octane, you'll make: 18HP and 22TQ
On 93 Octane, you'll make: 20HP and 24TQ
The retail on the software is $1199... so I'd advise purchasing before the end of the week!

Hmmn. $800 for a 5 percent boost in HP. I think I need a 2nd opinion
Guys, anyone else done this sort of ECU modification to your CLK 55's before?
If so, was it worth it?

yes! someone with a w208 CLK55 try out this product and post up some before and after dynos. If everything pans out, I'm definitely in. But I want to hear it from a fellow member first!
