Based on those numbers, they're not close to the ECU tunes available.

Sorry if I came across wrong in my other post. I'm sure if we were at some car meet we'd get along just fine, we both seem to have a fairly technical background. I guess I'm just too much of a mechanical perfectionist sometimes, probably the reason being many years ago (I'm talking 1980's) I was in the Automotive field as a test engineer and ran a durability test lab, this was in the infancy of when computer controlled cars first came along. The company I worked for manufactured Throttle Position Sensors and EGR Valve Position Sensors. I guess in my mind I sometimes think if a engine is not operating in the exact way it was designed and tested to as per it's manufacturing specs things are gonna go haywire. I know, not necessarily true, but I was so set in my ways of documenting everything to a T because I knew if I missed something it could come back to haunt me later.

Not at all--you came across as someone with a politely articulated point.

It's a shame we don't live closer...

it’s nice to see polite discussion on the forums. Cool

secondly up here this wouldn’t pose any risk from a warranty stand point.

2018 Lunar Blue E63S
Just installed mine.... Huge improvement, especially in comfort mode! The stock pedal was really dull before. I use Sport mode with one or two plus lights. I find if I go to one of the car's sport modes, then the throttle is that much faster. Anyone care to share their setting? Keep in mind my car only has 380 miles and I am still breaking it in. I only have nudged the throttle. I have not broken break in protocol at all!

More importantly, Has anyone tried their piggyback tuner yet? Looks promising and nice that its not an ECU reprogram.
