ML55 performance chip upgrade?

Hello im new to this forum and just got my hands on a ML55AMG this past april (2005). I have heard rumors of a performance chip upgrade for the ML55 but have not been able to find it online. It'd be a great help if someone could tell me if the chip does exist. i got smoked by a camaro the other day and was embarassed lol. thanks guys/girls!

I can get you the RENNtech ECU chip which will remap your shifting patterns, improve throttle tip-in, and give you more hp and torque.

PM me if you want the price. It's a fantastic chip and it's usually one of the first mods people do to their cars.

Something else you want to think about is getting a better set of air filters to improve the engines breathing capabilities.

LOL! It'd be kinda hard to get sponsored, however just shoot me a PM, I'm sure we can arrange something. Our prices are already very low!

Perhaps it is a 2003 or something, but just got the truck in April 2005?

PM me for the price on the RENNtech mods you want.

Here's the really cool thing about RENNtech, a LOT of dealers are RENNtech authorized dealers as well, but the ones that aren't, know what they are anyways. Most dealers are friendly, but just incase you do encounter one that will reflash your ECU back to stock, just tell us. We'll take the proper information and verify that it's your for your specific car, and we'll reflash your ECU back to RENNtech standards

Much appreciated. I "need" an SUV with baby on the way. My head says used LX470 but I can't shake the desire for a ML55.

hey there I seen a post on another site & a user said he put another ecu chip from ml55 to his ml430 ecu . Can anyone explain why he did it ? He said he installed the ml55 engine & transmission into his ml430 then the ml55 exit chip into his ml430 ecu because the rear differentials are different
