Software Upgrade

This is the guy(Tonino) that did the SW conversion to my C43 ECU.The C43 ECU now thinks the car is an E55 and I'm impressed with the results since the engine conversion from 4.3L to 5.5L was made.Tonino who is from Italy and has many oversea chip engineering contacts is employed by Superchips and lives here locally in NYC.He did a fantastic job and my car results are below my sig to prove it. For more info email me at coolcarlski@yahoo.com if anyone is interested in custom ECU tuning.

Carl,

Can this guy raise the rpm limit? I would like to raise mine to around 7000 rpm.

I understand that both the Trans ECU and Engine ECU would have to be changed.

He Jeff, I thought I'd jump in here because I asked him when he flashed mine. He said they guys who did the work said no to that. But maybe he was blowing smoke up my **** and didn't actually ask them. I'll ask him again if Carl doesn't 1st. (btw, off topic - I guess when I urged you not to waste money on next day delivery, you sent it as delivery by mule? :p else, what's up? Please e-mail me. )

I see you live in NYC did you ever have your car serviced in White Plains my service guy told me that he drove a C class with a E55 engine that was kick a$$?
