ECU programming is altering the performance characteristics of the engine for an end-goal of increase power and torque, as well as improved drivability. We typically see peak HP increases in the 40-50 HP range, but more importantly, we are making more boost available earlier in the RPM range, so we're seeing much larger increases in the low and mid RPM range- closer to 120 HP under the curve. We limit peak torque to 840 lb/ft. which is the physical limit of the transmission.

Post a DYNO

Can you post a DYNO of a tuned SL600 with your software?

here ya go! Keep in mind these are crank numbers, NOT wheel numbers and was done at our USA headquarters at 6200 ft. above sea level. All we're really interested in is the Delta, and the area under the curve.

Do you know

Do you know anyone who has used your tune, who has a Dyno of their car after the tune. Thanks for what you posted but I suspect that is the BEST CASE SCENARIO from Headquarters.

Do a search- there are some forum members who have posted WHP dyno's from DynoJet's, Mustang, DynoDynamics, etc. Like I said, that dyno was done at our USA headquarters in Colorado, 6200 ft. above sea level- these results are pretty typical. Attached is a dyno dynamics graph that was done by a third-party dyno shop (can't remember where- not in Colorado tho), but this only shows torque- not sure why I don't have the HP graph to go along with it. This is the only other dyno graph I have on file....

absolutely! We're offering a supercharger special until the end of the year for your SL500. Send your car to our USA headquarters here in Colorado, and we'll install a supercharger, and headers for an even $10,000.00. This represents a savings of about $4800, as you're basically getting the headers and installation for free! Price includes before and after dyno testing.

Cory:

Is this $2500 ECU and the $500 TCU tune equivalent to the Stage II upgrade posted on the kleemann website?
Gains of over 100+ HP one...

Thanks!

I also asked about this before deciding to get the Kleemann ECU upgrade.

The stage I (50HP) listed on the Kleemann DK website is not available in the US. The only ECU upgrade available in the US from Kleemann is the Stage II (127HP).

Cory please correct me if I am wrong.

Well, I can say that I LOVE my Stage 2 from Kleemann. Got it done a few months back. Although, if you get this, you NEED to find a way to get traction. It's crazy power. I actually lose the wheels when I floor it at 40-50mph. Look for threads from me and you'll see my before and after dyno done here in MA.

My only bummer is I could have saved TWO GRAND if I had just waited a few months. Gross.

Actually....no need to search for threads (although there's some conversation and an HP chart over there as well), the Dent Sport Garage (Norwood, MA) dyno Cory posted earlier is from my car. I had sent him that sheet after I got the dyno done.

Just got the ECU back today.

Too bad I cant really test it out today because its pouring in boston!
I tried to do a highway run in the rain but was losing traction even when I kicked down at 65 MPH...

I have a good feeling about this tune!
Going to try this thing tomorrow when the weather clears up

Just ripped down mass pike.

my gawd this thing flies
On dry road at 45 mph, the tires still losses it when I kick down so metallica you are right...we have to think of something to put the power onto the ground.

Anybody considering the Kleemann tune, go for it!
Especially during this promotion!
