Who's done the VRP ECU tune on their 65??
I'm looking for feedback and results from people who have had their ECU's tuned by VRP. I'm consdering having them do mine, but would like to hear any positive/negative feedback from you guys first. And yes, I'm fully aware of Marko's car

Busa196,
Marko's car was recently at CPT (local MB shop who does all my cars and most MBs in the area) and while I cannot discuss figures, let me tell you the software they are running makes absolutely insane power. Unlike before where they dyno'd on a random dynojet, CPT's dyno is where pretty much all the local AMG guys have made their pulls and Marko's car is so far ahead of anyone who's dyno'd there (including done up 55 guys with BIG shots of spray) it's comical. No question VRP is making some crazy power, albeit with the full VRP825 kit +.
The guys at CPT were very impressed with the results, well beyond their expectations. It still has room on the table too, so we will see what this kit winds up making when it's fully tuned.
I know this isn't first hand knowledge, so take it with a grain of salt.

Appreciate the feedback Marcus- that's excellent news. I was hoping someone who had just the ECU tune done would chime in so I know what kind of numbers to expect. I'm not looking to crush any dyno records here, just looking for a $2500 increase in power along with longevity
