Best tuner for bolt ons / Computer and TCU

doing a fixed 77mm pulley and full catless exhaust on my 06 SL55.

Who is the best person for tuning that is also the most affordable ? $1200 + for a flash " canned tuning " from Eurocharged seems excessive.

Any solid reccomendations would be appreciated !

Anthony Lawshee would be the best choice. (Anthony has been tuning these platforms longer than most) I believe he is one of the only tuners that can tune the fixed pulley properly.

Tony Lawshee. I've had a few "other" tunes on my car and always find my way back to Lawshee.

WE ARE (-: $1200 is not pricey at all, we have developed all the tuning on these pulleys already as well BUT throughout March we have our tune on sale for $299 and the pulley is $695, so that saves you $200 if you order this month

Eurocharged just sent "canned" tune last week and my data logs are spot on. EC mid Headers, no primary cats and stock back half. Probably going pulley soon as well. Very pleased with what I got from them thus far.

OP- I wish you luck on getting the fixed pulley to run without issue. Make sure you have plenty of time and patience before getting rid of your blower clutch.

I agree. Tony is the best, hands down. He has years of experience and has gone through all of the trials and tribulations to get the tunes just right.
He is with Race IQ here in Atlanta.


He tuned my E63 and it runs great. Good Luck. StevieG

since I tune sct, It starts with the customer so no matter who you choose make sure your car is tip top before getting a tune, good plugs, fuel, tight blower belt, proper wideband location, good ic pump. since our benz tuners are usually far from us all that stuff makes it easier for them to give a good tune if the car is mechanically sound. Trapping 122mph stock shift points. Thanks tony.
