e55's TRUE power!!
the e55 is a beast! but with chip tuning it brings the hidden beast out! i test drove an E55 with chip tuning done... damn it is fast! I think they purposely didnt tune the e55 to as powerful as it could be.

I'm curious as to how easy it is to do chip tuning.
I'm not too familiar with chip tuning though. Do you just sit the car on the dyno and then change things to the ECU and see how much better it gets?

No problems?
No errors after the tuning?
What kind of gains?
And at what cost?
How about warranty? Is that voided or do you guys offer a warranty plan?
I just want to be safe before I do anything.
Thanks.

In standard form, the E55 AMG Kompressor 5.5 V8 produces 469 hp and 516 lb.-ft.
ECU tuning has a range of different programming to suit your car, which can increase it's power to between 483 hp and 497 hp, and it's torque to between 531 lb.-ft and 546 lb.-ft.
this graph shows the power gains with 91 octane fuel:

Looks like this is the Powerchips upgrade...
Looks pretty good...Any plans for a pully/ecu combo? I saw on Powerchips website, they have a link for pully/ecu, but it's not ready yet.
I'm waiting to see what EVO has up their sleeves...

Do you have a real dyno graph from a Dynojet? I seriously doubt they straped the E55 engine to an engine dyno to get the results from the attached dyno graph.

I have all the before and after graphs for the Powerchips ECU upgrade along with the pulley upgrade kit as my car has been used for the development.

The pulley is good for another 40hp at the rear wheels and a huge increase in torque between 2000-4000rpm.

My current upgrades,
ECU, larger Pulley, S500 air tube, air intake hole modification and heat tape around the air filter housings. If you do these relatively simple modifications, 99% of all unmodified street cars can be seen in your rear view mirror. Including ......
