A Thank You from a 600tt Client
We just finished doing an ECU/TCU set up on a SL600, and the owner sent the following and I thought I would share....
"My 04 SL600 was fun and had lots of power but after a bit you get use to all that power and want more. After looking around at all the "soup up" options, I picked Veloce performance. Dino understands how torque is really what moves a street car around. How often during street driving are you at 6000 RPM, even on the track you just shift there. Your engine's torque at 2000-5000 RPM is what blows the doors off your various casualties. After Dino's tune, The term Oh Crap! Hang ON comes to mind. Unbelievable acceleration that just doesn't let up. SL pulls so hard past 120, 130, 140+MPH. The TCU upgrade helps the transmission handle all this torque and the shifts are AMG quick and still silky smooth. Part throttle response is so impressive too, The car reacts so quickly to commands now, the turbo delay is all but gone.AND a great by product- my mileage actually increased - was 25.5 driving back after the tune at 65 MPH in traffic.The turbos are working the way they should and increasing engine efficiency. Hey Dino! Our E320 CDI is next! 50HP and 4 MPG improvement, I think I can sell that to the Mrs! You are a tuning GOD!"
All my best

It's always great to hear from someone who appreciates the drive. We are also having a Valentine's Special on this set up for $3200, reduced from $4400.
