RE: C55 AMG
you can start by programming the ECU, by doing this you'll remove all the restrictions, increase the hp and remove the speed limiter. check out www.singhautosport.com or go to the vendor section of this forum.

RE: C55 AMG
i'm currently working with a manufacturer with a new ECU tuning for C55 and all other cars as well.
what they did is basically put all the goodies from all different ECU tuners into one.
all the bad are taken out. it is an ultimate ECU tuning.
i should be ready in about 2 weeks or so...

Im sorry K1motorsport but im gonna have to disagree on this one. When you start to modify the engine you should start in this order... 1. ECU 2. intake 3. pulleys 4. headers 5. centre pipe 6. rear box. You would use this order for a reason, its simple... take a look at it. The ECU is the brain of the operation so you can add the biggest exhaust and intake but unless you tell the brain, theres no point adding them. I've been doing software upgrades for about 15 years now, from a Mini to a Carrera GT. We read and write software which means we don't use someone elses software and brand it as our own, i hope i don't sound rude when i say that. We also write software that can adapt to any modifications done on a later date. www.singhautosport.com
K1 maybe we can do some business together.

i am sorry Jag, YOU ARE WRONG....ECU tuning should be done last, because for example if you do pulleys later on the ECU has to be tuned to compensate for the pulleys....if you change the intake, again the ECU has to be optimized for more air coming in...this only makes sense
ECU tuning should only be done first...if you do not plan on any other mods....stock MB programs are already adaptive

RE: C55 AMG
I think you both are right. It just depends.
This is a chicken and an egg thing. If you increase compression with a mod, you need the ignition timing retarded. Which do you do first? Does it really matter? Not as long as you do both before the car leaves the garage.
If you change the air intake on a NA engine, you don't need ECU tuning. The ECU can adapt on its own. If you want the air/fuel mix leaned a little, it can be done before or after an air intake mod.
Some things will require re-tuning. If you do a mod in the future that increases max rpm, then you'll need the auto trans shift points adjusted after the mod. It wouldn't make sense to do the adjstments before.
If you added bigger heads, bigger injectors, and bigger cam, you definitely don't want the needed ECU adjustments before the mods are installed.
And on and on...
