05' SL500 (Sold) - 01' S430 - 05' Yama R1- 02' ML500 (sold)
Software upgrade ???

Has anybody done a software upgrade with this company http://singhautosport.com/ it is only $600.00 for 25hp gain. They claim they been around doing this for 19 years. They work with mostly European cars and Ferraris

What would be the difference with http://singhautosport.com/ and Renntech for 1,795.00 for 10hp gain.

Any help would be great.

SL 5.0 2003-2006 25hp $600
SL 5.5 AMG 2003-2006 25hp $1,100
SL 6.0 Bi-Turbo 2003-2006 70hp $1,300
SL 6.0 Bi-Turbo 2003-2006 122hp $3,000
SL 6.5 AMG 2004-2006 35hp $1,500
SL 6.5 AMG 2004-2006 70hp $3,000

I've never heard of them.
Have you tried emailing info@euroteckmotorsports.com and asked what their pricing was?

BTW: You won't see big hp/torque gains from the chip seeing how the SL500 is N/A. However the chip does a lot of changes under the curve, that's where you'll feel the biggest change and that's why IMO it's worth it.

I wish I could do the chip as well as a bunch of other RENNtech mods for daddy's car, but alas I think we're going to get rid of it in a few months depending on how the LS460 plays out.

You won't notice 25hp on the street.
