Pulled the trigger on a TUNE

Hey Y'all,

I decided to get an ECU tune for my '15 CLS 400.
After reviewing prior posts and looking at costs, I decided on WEISTEC.
I saved a little $$ because of Black Friday Sales, so that helped a little also.
If anyone has any comments, good or bad, I'd appreciate hearing them.
It's a stage 1 tune, with zero mods. I'd just like to have a bit more power than it has as a stock vehicle. I should feel a difference.
Thanks,
Mark

Looking forward to hearing your reaction.

If possible, a dragy before the tune and after the tune would be great.

I went with Weistec and absolutely love it. I have a few mods, everything except downpipes because I live in California and still have to pass smog. But the power is mindblowing and you never get tired of it. I was too afraid to floor it for a couple of weeks, but it doesn't get old. You always have more power than necessary and while you're not going to be running down Corvettes, the car moves waaay faster than you think that it should. Congrats and have fun!!

CLS400 4Matic EC Tuned
Have fun, a stage 1 tune for these CLS400's really brings them to life. Before mine was tuned, I never got that pushed back into my seat feeling; it's there now when I want it. Lots more low end torque as well, especially around that 1500-2500 range.
