BEST IN TUNING ?

Who would be the best in the game in tuning ? Eurocharged , RaceIQ ,DTK ?
What is your opinion ? I have a E55 with EC ECM and TCM tune currently - $150 dollar RETUNE's. What about other tunes and what they offer and for how much ?
I'm having a 2006 CLS55 delivered this weekend so I'm just wondering if I should stick with EC or if others offer better for less ?

From my experience RaceIQ - Anthony, actually listened to the customer and went that extra mile to please and give me what I needed, so he has my vote. I have a 2005 CLS55, congrats on your new baby, do post pics when she arrives.

Here she is. My new CLS55 project. I'm a hands on guy and that's exactly what I was looking for. 2006 CLS55 AMG with 89K miles. Paid $5500 USD out the door with auction fees. BLACK ON BLACK CLS55 was what I was looking for at first but ended up with 05 E55 which is also BLACK ON BLACK.

Raceiq didnt work for me (bad fueling and car lost its rev limiter :o) and tony gave up and no refund so I stuck with eurocharged whose tunes were always bang on (power run tested on dyno to verify). People have had success with them but I have seen others with problems too over the years.

I'm skeptical changing tuners will make much difference that 150 retune does seem a bit steep wasnt it 35/45?

Good luck with the repair doesnt look too bad does it!

I wish retune at EC would be 35-45 bucks, then it would not bother me getting retunes done.

I'm getting a retune by Tony RaceIQ for my new pulley. Cost is 30 dollars. I have been so happy the last four years with his tune I have not wanted to switch pulleys but it's time.
