no worries! We prefer you have all the information to make a proper decision!

ECU (engine control unit) controls the engine TCU (transmission control unit) controls the transmission

Our tcu tune, changes the shifting of the car (faster), adds a true manual mode so it doesn't autoshift on you in M mode close to redline, and bumps the redline.

make sense?

they vary (hand built)

And everyone...

we have had an enormous response to this sale. PM's are filling daily and we are swamped with emails. If anyone doesn't get a response right away we are working as fast as possible to answer all questions.

In the rare chance that we experience website problems on friday with the coupon use, just place the order and write black friday in the comments section. We process all CC on the backend manually and will charge appropriately.

here's the discussion about the HP ratings for the 55k engines....

https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...493hp-how.html

Seems that MB rated the E55 at 469 and the SL55 at 493 just for marketing sakes.

now according to the Eurocharged website, The SL55 Ends up with 516HP after the tune and the E55 gets 512HP and both get 563TQ
