Finally bought a Black Series!
I wanted to let the community know that I finally purchased a BS. I have been looking for some time and found one with less than 7000 miles.
I couldn't be happier!
I've already tuned the car (duh).
Next on my list is throttle blipping and faster shifting. I know I'm beating a dead horse, but I can't believe the car was sold without it!
As many of you may already know, I have done TCU conversions for many other AMG's. We have the tools and resources to tackle this project!
I'll share my Dyno Graph very soon (24whp+ gains)!
Keep an eye out for ECU tuning specials!
Thanks!

Congrats Jerry, we have the same garage now. I have the Indy Red M5 that you tuned and a BS as well. Post some pics. Can you actually do the throttle blip from TCU tune? I think most BS owners would be interested. member WTDoom did something with his in Germanynand we are all waiting on video!!

I'll get the pics up ASAP! Was going to wrap the car and take pics afterwards, but I changed my mind. :-)
Maybe you could come by for a free test drive of the ECU software with faster paddle shifting and other goodies. I can flash the 63 via OBDII now, so no need to pull the ECU. I'll be happy to donate the ECU tune for an honest review of my recent work!
The TCU will be a bit tricky. I have started the base work for the tune and started comparing part numbers from another AMG. Once that is done, I will pull my TCU and start the process.
I don't want to share too much information, but rest assured I will do everything I can to complete the project in a timely manner.
Are there any other things that we should address while I'm writing the software?
Thanks!

Long tubes, ECU...and everything else that gets more power to that beast!!!

I am glad that this sealed the deal for you to get the CLK Black!! Jerry, this car is amazing in so many ways. It kind reminds me all the comments that I've read about your business (understated and overdelivering). In fact, this is one of the reasons I decided to look into having you doing all the work (i.e. ECU remaps, and etc.) on my car. I found it interesting that so many people on the internet described your work ethic as someone who always understates...and in the end overdelivers. I think this is a great quality!! I think we all are sick and tired with tuners promising huge gains...and in the end can't deliver as half as much as promised. I have no personal gain to advertise and promote your business in this forum, as I don't know you (other than having the pleasure meeting you during that Miami-Tune day event). I hope CLK Black owners or any other Mercedes car owners who are interested to do any upgrades on their car read this note, so you can get their business cause you are definately well worth it!! You are a humble and honest person and interested to educate car owners about what you can and can't do, as opposed to other tune shop owners who are interested in just getting peoples money. You are a good man, and you have certainly earned my business. Same thing about the CLK Black...understated...and certainly overdelivers!!!! Now, I am looking very forward and will be keeping a very close eye to all of your car upgrades/updates on this forum about your CLK Black, as I want these to be done on mine as well. Hopefully I get a good discount for being the one to seal the deal for you getting the CLK Black. Btw, my best friend who came along with me during the Miami-Tune event, who also wanted an ECU upgrade for his SUV, mentioned kiddingly that the Rage Tech shop owner may have been pissed off at me after that darn burnout and all that smoke the CLK Black raised which ended up straight at the shop. I hope the owner has no bad feeling about that burnout. I didn't mean to make everyone over these suffer by smelling that damn smoke coming off of the CLK Black tires... Yes...indeed...that was a very long burnout...

Jerry, is that 432 rwhp baseline and 462 with the tune? That car is running strong. What's the expected driveline loss? Also what is the M button you are referring to, I don't have a button on mine, or have I not discovered it yet?

The small button next to the gearshifter cycles the transmission through Manual, Sport and Comfort modes.
