Speedtuning USA ECU Chip Mod...any good??

Has anyone heard anything about Speedtuning usa? I just found out last night that they produce an ECU chip mod that is supposed to produce an extra 20 hp and 22 nm torque on the 02 C230K coupe...is this realistic? It seems like these chips never really produce what they're supposed to. Retail on the chip is $275. Sounds pretty damn good to me, but usually such "great" deals are only great because they don't do what they're supposed to do.

They also have for $999 a kit that supposedly boosts the car to 235/328...is this for real??

according to one of their reps this kit would include "a hardware upgrade available, Power Chip, bigger pulley, belt and intake for US$ 999. would get you plus 42HP and 48Nm torque." If it's for real it sounds damn good to me

They have mods for many other benz's, so let me know what you think.


Here's a link to their site:
