As long as long as you guys are still there around 2pm, I'll be there for a baseline. Maybe we can slap the tune on there just to see what she'll do, then go back stock. 
That way, I know what to expect when it comes time to flash her for real.

Ghayson,
Not sure but doubtful. Jerry states that these cars take roughly 7 hours to tune. I would love to have them just flash it once and do a pull, just to see what's what. Then they can flash it right back to stock. Don't know if they'd be willing to do that but it'd sure be nice to see what I'd get once I pull the trigger.
Plus I could show proven dyno gains on a stock V12TT car on the forum, which could help them in future sales.

7 hours is on the high side. I like to spend about 4 hours tuning it. This allows ample time for cooling, hot runs, chatting about the tuning, etc.
I have plenty of dyno graphs to share with everyone from many of the 600's/65's I've done in the past 10 days.
The off the shelf tune will be perfect for your car, so you should jump on it....why go back to stock? Just do it!

Are you coming, Jerry? Maybe I'll test your upselling abilities.
Maybe you're felling generous that day and offer a 1/2 price tune as repayment for the last successful dyno/tune day I set up for L.E.T. in March 
The possibilities are endless.

May Stop By To Say Hello
It will be a nice day tomorrow and because I've never seen a dyno tune I may stop by to say hello. Does LET have any experience with a CLK63 Black Series?

Cool. I dunno if they've tuned one before
NICE! I will make sure to get on the dyno before you just in case that monster breaks it! lol I'm leaving soon. You should stick around until tomorrow and we can go hit MIR

I showed up around 1pm and Jamusa, blackbenzz were there. Benzorama showed up when i took off to show Jamusa to get to where he needed to go. Hope he didnt get lost. A few others showed up earlier before i got there.
Debated about getting my 4matic flashed/tuned, but decided against it. Wanted to get a base tune before, but dyno not set up for awd. Hope all went well for everyone who showed up for the tune.
I'll let the rest chime in w/their results:-)

I went straight from the golf course. I fully planned on just base lining my car (honest) but something funny happened there. I'll do a full write-up tomorrow or Monday, but let's just say that my car is no longer stock. Not even close.
Man, do these V12TTs respond well to tuning. Tires are gonna be expensive.
**HINT**
Are your tires supposed to break loose on a dyno?
