i got the canned tune from eurocharged, i wanna slap a 83mm but i will not run a canned tune im afraid of blowing it up, can someone give me a shop that wont over charge me. since when does a e55 custom tune cost 1100-1500$ i got quoted for 700$ in total from eurocharged in Houston with canned tune cost so literally i was paying another 300$ for dyno time thats it. but im in NY

Call Tony Lawshee at RaceIQ. Great to do business with and customer service is better than anyone.

Yes I def will, i feel guilty about getting this stupid canned tune bc it sucks. I just need to figure out how i would get it tuned im assuming he doesnt have a shop in NY i will need to find a dyno then

$1,000 for a dyno tune on a car like this is not unreasonable at all.

so u pay 200-300$ for dyno time and 700-800$ for a platform thats been around for almost 20 yrs. idk id expect it more for a c63 but e55 is so old.

I don't think it's as much about age - this is a more complicated and lesser tuned car than a platform like an Evo, Subaru, or Audi/VW. You're paying more for someone with knowledge of a more specialized platform. These cars still haven't been modified as throughly as something with wider appeal - on a Subaru you can run two step/ALS through the factory ECU but on an E55 the 83mm throttle body still isn't perfected across the board. That's why we're stuck paying higher prices.

and why in the world does the canned tune suck? Our canned tunes are based off dyno tunes of other cars, and fully customized to the individual car (gas, mods, elevation)

Sure dyno tuning will yield a little better result, but not to the extent you think.

Idk i thought i would've noticed a difference, plus it gives a nice lump on idle thought the tuning would knock that out, and i asked for a CEL light removal all my friends who have similar catless setups told me jerry was able to remove it for them on a canned tune, I'm not extending the sensors thats to much work. Sucks is not the word its just not what i want thats all, i need to be at a dyno and see how my car is running and what power I'm making and i want everything perfected to the fullest.

Lump on idle is most likely a boost leak, get that checked

We can code out a cel but you still will show not ready for emissions. You can also just throw some o2 extenders in and it should take care of that for ya. Easy and cheap to do.

and ya makes sense, it there is anything we can do to help let me know

Thanks for the advice, Who in NY works with jerry for custom tunes. Do we pay just for dyno time or we pay jerry on top of that? how does the custom tuning work with eurocharged

I like broadway myself

You would just pay for the shops dyno time and then we charge a custom fee of $100 an hour to tune since you already have the base tune
