Thanks much, I couldn't find any info on the E500 on L.E.T's site.

Here are some gains you would see from your car RWD about 22HP/25TQ, 4-matic about 18/21 due to DT loss

Next show is May 2nd. Perhaps this might be a great venue to demonstrate the products and get in front of a captured audience. I can arrange that and dyno facilities locally.

Let me know.

This sounds great, PM me when you get a chance so we can talk about whats needed and whats needed for us to come out. Thanks much hope to hear from you soon.

RE: DC Dyno Tune

I'm regrettably out as I concluded that the pending LET handheld tune/tuner is a better way for me to go; and, more immediately, my wife snagged most of my time for this weekend making a run up to DC and back pretty much a fantasy anyway.

Have fun guys.

Glad to see you guys are close. I know that we're trying to organize LET to fly up to Vancouver for individual tuning + dyno. I know I would feel much more comfortable with this approach than sending my ECU by mail...

For anyone on the fence, this is once in a lifetime deal!!
