PC custom dyno tune: BC/WA area

hey guys,

ive been working on getting powerchip to come down and do some tuning over here in canada and we have finally set the date for sept. 28. ive already booked a dyno dynamics dyno for this. jeremy can do custom dyno tunes for those who want that and they can also provide flashes. ive got about 7-9 cars coming in to do this. the cars coming include CLS55, S55, LP560-4, C63, M5, E46 M3, and E500. i might even flash my RRS s/c since it has a pulley and exhaust. i just wanted to let u guys know in case there are more or you out there that are interested in this.

if u are in the Vancouver, BC or even in the WA state area and u would like to get in on this please contact travis at powerchip or send me a PM in order to get more details. if there are more people that want to do this, then they can stay longer in order to accommodate everybody.

cheers!

Timing sucks for me...I'm going to be in Vegas until the 29th (I'm in the Seattle area). I don't think I would see any great improvements on my SL500 but then again, I could be surprise. Maybe next time. Thanks for putting this together

yes u can.
i guess it would depend on the dealer u go to. some tend to be mod friendly.
the flash is undetectable by them so thats a good thing.

im not sure about fuel consumption, i never asked about that.
