Anybody do 9g tronic with a tune?

Anybody try one of the 540hp/700ft-lb tunes with their 9g tronic transmission? I spoke to Renntech and the guy there said there would be no issue.
I just wondered if anybody had any real world experience with this combo. I have a 2015 cls550.

I would think the RT tune would absolutely fine for the 9g. The engine can handle more boost just fine, and the 9G has the torque limits to support the tune as well.

There are conflicting reports on the torque limit of the 9G-Tronic... at least when I looked into it. Some sources suggest 1000nm and others 700nm which are about 700Ft-Lb and 500FT-Lb respectively. I have to think Mercedes designed this for 700FT-Lb.

I've seen a couple of online articles say the 9g can support 1000nm as well, I mean they all can't be wrong, right? Lol.

Thank, I guess I will bide my time and see If can find out which version of the 9g the CLS has, 700 or 1000 n-m. I remember reading somewhere previously that it only had the 700 n-m one.
