I would be

I would be interested in seeing runs from other cars you actually tuned. Everyone who is a tuner always seems to somehow get a REALLY strong SL to start with.

Not true. I'm not a tuner. And my stock '06 SL600 runs pretty tight with his results. My ECU/TCU tune comes back today, so I hope to get an "after" dyno done in the next week or two.

Here's my "before" dyno:

Vadim, is this just an ECU flash? Do you know the breakout in performance gains between the ECU and TCU?

Our tune is just ECU.

I have TCU programming and I am testing it on our S600 before it will be released. There were some issues from other tuners with TCU causing transmission problems.
