Kick A-- ecu tuning

Veloce Performance just did my ecu tuning. I have had ecu tuning on my sl600 and my 996tt. I decided to try Veloce Performance because of the numbers I had seen were about the same without the pulley upgrade as the others were with the pulley. I must say this was absolutley the best ecu tune I have had. By far the most improvement from a ecu tune alone. He also removed the limiter. Well, 3rd day I had it after breaking it in for a few hundred miles, I hit 170's with no effort at all. The car launches better stronger throughout the rpm range. My friend has a 05 sl55 with renntech ecu/pulley. I pulled him without disappointment. The ecu tune is all I have done except for the K&N filters. I could not stand it. This morning (430am) I had to go for it and hit the big 200. I honestly think it could have went a few mph more. It was unbelievable the difference it has made. Renntech headers going on this week with a lowering module. Hopefully a dyno while it's there. I will post numbers if the dyno manages to not be booked as it is right now.


Thanks Veloce Performance. Your tuner is awesome!

Thanks again!! Its always good to hear a good report....not that we have any bad ones.

I have been dialing in the 55K motor on my own car for over 4 years. The potential has been amazing to see.......and feel!

Our set up with a pulley has been bettering 80hp/80lb ft.

Its always good to hear of another car to see the double ton! Well done!

We would just need the size of the pulley and my guys can dial it in for that particular set up.

We are about to finish an even better set up that I will be testing on my car.

It should be awsome!

Since I am firm believer in overall performance, I believe that there is more to it than just going faster (although that is alot of fun). I think that the brakes in all our cars could use some improvements.

As a result we are now a Brembo Dealer, and will be doing package deals for our ECU work combined with brake packages that will take your car to the next level and save you money.

PM me for a package quote on your car.
