Talking Powerchip tune results

I recently had my 2005 E55 tuned by Powerchip in Costa Mesa. They got me in without much notice when I was visiting from Vegas for the day. I went from running 12.63 @110 mph to 12.27 @ 116!

The car runs fantastic now!
I can't say enough about how pleased I am. Great guys who really know their stuff!

That's awesome. I'm waiting for a custom PC tune myself, or at least a map file from someone with my mods. Was there a significant difference in the temperature between your pre- and post-tune runs? I'm asking because we're seeing a lot of great times and traps lately due to the colder temperatures.

Wait till you do the tune along with pulleys.... not that i'm speaking from experience, but I hear that's the first biggest difference in power you'll notice. I wanna get mine already!
