Go with Eurocharged TCU tune for the 722.6 tranny which is what I have in my '05 C55 AMG. I also have their shorty headers along with the Sprint Booster V3, too!

You guys have me thinking about getting the Sprint Booster. The throttle lag drives me nuts.
Not to derail the thread but has anyone put any thought in the transmission....for the 722.6 anyway? I've been thinking about a valve body upgrade. I heard about VRPspeed through a YouTube vid and I'm kicking around the idea of giving it a shot to improve the shifting. I was initially looking at the ones offered by southernhotrod.com but heard the deceleration downshifts were on the harsh side.

On the valve body upgrade, the VRPspeed sure sounds interesting! Here's the video on YT where he installed the Southern Hotrod unit:

Yes, you have to get the SB. Best $300 I ever spent on a car. I can barely get an oil change for this thing for $300.
