BEST ECU Upgrade...
Wsup Everyone...
I know there are a few companies such as kleeman, rentech, brabus etc. that do the ECU upgrades for the E55`s...I know most of you have the ECU upgrades...from what you guys know, and from personal opinion... Which companies ECU upgrade gives the best performance output, and gives you the best power bang for the buck??? Thanks for your Imputs

20+ to list......
Running Powerchip flash on mine now, no pulley upgrade until the car sees 1500 miles. So far the flash is working very nicely with intake and exhaust modifications. A bit pricey, but I think it's worth it.

C63 AMG (stock right now), Beach Cruiser (debadged), Piper Cherokee 280 (too much to mention)
Pc
I think that Powerchip is the way to go. I think it is available via evosport and there is a banner on this forum (evosport are sponsor)
www.powerchipgroup.com is address - MUCH BETTER VALUE THAN KLEEMANN

i don't know how similar each tuners' software is, but they ALL have the identical problem right now of not knowing how to access the new location of the load limiter post ecu recall.
