Yes, most tuners call it ECU Upgrade.

The 5.0V8 is a mature engine, ecu tuning is very popular.
around ~20 ps gain.

Search the Performance forum and find sources you want.

I got a few of the chips, just tell me what you're looking for.

The biggest difference you feel isn't the power gain, it's the optimized shifting and the better power curve.

My case is different, the ex-CLK50K (at crazy stage-8 + LSD)
must have a chip tuning to adapt the FI mods. I went for the MKB chip, very expensive one but they did
everything you asked
(1)zero knocking on the FI engine.
they don't sell the Kleemann S/C but they know what to do.
(2)extend the redline to 6400 rpm (factory 5.0V8 is 6000 rpm) for all gears.
Does CLS500 redline at 6000 as well ?
(3)Delimit
