I have the emails and can C&P or fwd them to others to verify if necessary.
If ChicagoX really wants to find out why we say PC tunes are archaic he's more than welcome to come to MIR or Columbus (3-4 weeks) for a track rental race where he can line up and see first hand the reality of the situation.
Again Roman I never attacked you or anyone that didn't come at me first, and I'm really beginning to believe (based on your post count and your constant spin of all my statements) that you are a competitor and/or are linked to a competing business.
Mods, can we get an IP check please?

Thanks
Interesting take on the facts.

I contacted you about your TCU tuning - you asked about my affiliation with LET, and YOU never replied back.

The only way to get you to reply was on the thread. I'm still waiting on a reply to my E-mail.

I will be at MIR. I'm really curious if you will have the stones to climb up on a stepladder and talk like that to my face. Good luck with your business.

What part of "not here to educate the competition" don't you understand? You told me you were affiliated with LET (a competitor) and you expected me to flash your TCU anyway? Sorry, not going to happen.

LMAO. I'm looking forward to MIR even more now.

Top speed with stock gearing and rear wing (and assuming it doesn't flip to that point) is 200mph. The published 0-200kmh (124mph) is 9.9 sec... so it should be a mid 10 sec car in the 1/4 mile (not exactly its forte').

Well, I've got it easily beat on the top speed but can't touch a mid 10 1/4 mile (yet).

Andy, I think I was one of the first guys from this board to talk to you on the phone. I warned you about most peoples stance and attitudes. I told you that the only way to gain cred is for your work and product to back up your words. I also warned you that they will not believe anything you post if it goes against what the masses believe, trust me on this one, there are still people that question my car even with dyno sheets and time slips, video proof and dozens of people who witnessed it.

In reading all of the many posts on this thread I can see where people on both sides of the coin are coming from. Do yourself a favor, either post some dyno charts or just ignore these guys until you do, don't keep firing back. Your dyno tunning day sounds like a great idea, and the fact that you will be willing to offer a full money back refund if not completely satisfied should put some peoples mind and fears at ease.

I am anxiously awaiting being able to re-install my MHP updated ECU and see how much it gives my car.

For the record everyone, I have not shipped my ECU to Andy yet. I thought I shipped it but Fed Ex returned it to me and it has been sitting in a box on my desk for a week.

I had a dealer installed Renntech ecu tune and exhaust and pulley on my CLS55, the motor blew with under 10,000 miles. THere was clearly a defective piston in the car that would have failed even under a bone stock tune, it was just my bad luck. Do you want to take a guess at who covered the repairs? Not Mercedes, not Renntech, it was me that had to pay to have my engine rebuilt from the bottom up. My car was classified Status 8 and I was out $$,$$$. For you to even hint at the idea that Renntech stands behind their product in this manner is just plain ol' silly. If it were as easy as you are claiming don't you think we would all be doing it?
You and Maronie are both a lost cause. Did you sign anything that said your warranty was void? Were YOU that clueless? If the installing dealer decided to claim that the the modifications they made to your car caused the motor to fail and they then flagged your car with a "status 8", they've screwed themselves. You said "there was clearly a defective piston in the car". Your issue was with the dealer, not Renntech. They modded the car, it failed, they claimed to MBUSA that your Renntech modded car should not be covered, and oh, while we're at it, let's status 8 the vehicle. That was their decision, even though a "clearly defective piston" that would have "failed even under a bone stock tune" caused it??? I'm sure. You still do business with these dirtbags too? I guess like Roman, you've got money to burn or you're just sour that you got screwed when you didn't have to. I'm through talking to people that have more money than brains.

Ummm uhhh hmmmm mmmmm well I did not ask if you knew who I was, and I was not quoting you either when I posted that so take a second look.

But yes, it is a challenge. The goal is to see if your German magicians at AMG could be outdone by the Americans from Tuning Technology & MHP.

See you in Ohio!

I'm not here to post free info mikey. At some point we realize that others (including competing tuners) will get their hands on our tunes (not that they can replicate them at this point but we have to plan for the future), but at the same time I'm not going to do anything to speed the process up.

Also, as more and more manufacturers move to higher tech processors (ala BMW in '09) fewer and fewer people will be able to tune said vehicles. We don't have that problem, in fact we can tune them right now.

I think it's all in good fun, less ChicagoX's (must have a wardrobe full of Affliction T-shirts) off the wall comment, and everything will be settled at the strip as it should be.
We look forward to some friendly competition from all involved, after all, I think we're all here for the same reason...I think anyway lol.

seriously andy, i'm not nor have i ever asked for proprietary info. i just asked to see the timing advance compared to throttle position. that's one of the few places you'll find any hidden hp in the ecu and i'd like to determine if it's safe enough for me to consider if the time comes and it performs like you're claiming.

mikey sorry bro, no can do. We determine what's safe, that's our job afterall, and we would never risk an engine for the sake of extra power. Besides, I don't see anyone else posting their timing tables.

Hey this car looks familiar... Hopefully it can continue these burnouts without the tranny crapping out.
