Powerchip Software - Feedback?
Saw an add for Powerchip Performance Software in a S55/S600 Forum.
Claim is 44 HP and they can be customized for if you have other mods. Anyone have one of these or heard anything? Seems that $700 on an ASP Pulley and $1,495 on one of these would be a nice alternative to A K1 or comperable R package. Or, if they do provide 44 HP on their own would be a bargain.
Thoughts?

Blue,I remember reading your thread awhile back on this.However,I forgot if you did any dyno pulls before/after or if you just did the install&that was it?
I'm really considering this but it's hard to justify $1200 for 20hp at the wheels

Now this is the reason I will not shell over all that money.Nobody has any solid real world evidence of horsepower gains or for some reason will not show them
It's a damn shame there aren't any proven mods that add more then 30rwhp for this car without resorting to spray.I guess 55K's will still rule the horsepower wars

+1... it looks like it's very hard to add HP to naturaly espirated engines ... however i went with RENNtech Stage 1 (CF Airbox and ECU/TCU upgrade) for my W210 E55 AMG will take car to the dyno in few weeks and will see, i have before dynos readings... and nothing to hide ir lie just very interesting what real world gains are, if any ...
