02 CLK55 best chip mod?

Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving,
Very proud owner of a triple black 02 CLK 55 convt. 75k Love the car. Just sticking my toe in the big pond here. I LOVE the performance of the car but.........was wondering if there is a good, reliable, chip I could put in my car without hurting -----1. The motor, 2. MPG,

3. Reliability. Not looking to make a track car, but just a little something more for the BMW guys wondering why they can only see my AMG disappearing in the distance............
Cheers

Oe tuning a black Friday deal is the best I have found. I got it last year on my w209 and it is awesome.

So, you flashed it yourself, was it as easy as they depict? Did you have any complications?

I am happy with pressertech though you have to send them your ecu. They told me 375hp and 407tq. Certainly feels like it

yeah you send them your map and the send one back. Load it on the controller and put it on the car via obd. It's great the curve is so much better. Eurocharged is also good but nearly the same and cost more.

you can also remote tune via laptop and OBDII cable. The cable costs less than the MyGenius

I tuned my W202 C43 like this. That being said I have a MyGenius for my E63 and it is by far easier and less time consuming.

Honestly I don't know. They took control remotely so I didn't mess around with the software

recommend both kleeman (very smooth, stock like with noticeable power gain) and eurocharged (more aggressive)... with kleeman i sent them my dcu and they programmed it directly, but eurocharged was a dyno tune. very happy with both!
