$600 for 18 HP and that is in an rpm range that you don't normally use in normal driving. In fact the gains in the normally used range seems small enough to be unnoticeable. And the chart says 08-15 but Mercedes changed engines in 13 so that's not right.

I'll pass but if you want to try and share the result I'm sure it will be interesting.

I guess not a lot of people have had much success with the tune on these... Meanwhile I have brakes and struts/shocks to freshen it up a little

http://megasquirt.info/ Check this out, they can even give you transmission programming. The Megasquirt2 is what you would want and you can custom tune both your engine manangement and transmission (GPIO application). It is odd the Megasquirt systems have been around for a while yet it appears no one on the MB Boards seem to know it even exists. Megasquirt makes everything you would want to to in the way of as tune, be what YOU want to do and takes out of the factors of anything coded by your current engine management systems. Megasquirt also have a great support team and forum for user friendly help in any issues or needs you have in using their programming.
