Tuning For 1998 C230

I have a 1998 C230 (non-Kompressor). What are the ways that I can tune up my car and/or do performance upgrades?

I checked all over the website and couldn't find much.

Any suggestions or advices?

One option is our Speed Innovation ECU tuning. This is a complete ECU remap that modifies stock torque, timing, and throttle maps as well as rev limiter and top speed limiter to improve performance throughout the entire band.

For your '98 C320, you should expect about a 19HP gain and 20TQ gain on 91OCT and 23HP/25TQ gain on 93OCT. Pricing retails for $599 but we are running a special for $569 + shipping.

Throttle response can't be improved electronically (through tuning) if a car doesn't run on a throttle by wire system. Additionally, the top-speed limiter is not controlled in the ECU on cars that are pre-2000. Just wanted to clarify that
