Thanks,

yes it does, and no it won't We had to write new code and design a new way to interface with the TCU itself. You can't flash via OBD to the tcu!

But you also have to take into concideration we have a few hundred hours into the code development as well as thousands into equipment to do so.

If this were for a mustang or civic the market would be there to offset the costs associated with making ends meet from a business perspective. But alas that is simply not the case. Unfortunately the X-fire crowd is getting thinner by the day!

Word!

This is indeed a specialty Nich. And that is one of the things We love about this Car. We all know that the exclusivity will become more difficult to deal with as time moves on. The options for Modifications are limited Because the Players and Vendors simply are not there. The People doing the R&D Cannot defray the costs over a large market, Cuz You are the Market.


Period. Thanks Jake!

I think any big purchase'll probably qualify you. AKA tune or pulley. Though I'll let them clarify.

I am all over this, I can't stand the stock autostick configuration. $349 is reasonable enough to take the plunge (course I did spend over $1200 on an ECU/pulley combo).

correct! Any purchase that includes tuning or pullies will also qualify you for the $349 price.

sure doc, i should have the equipment soon to do it here in chi.

Steve, you better get a rocket to run me at timmayfest! I just ran 10.97 last week.

Very close to the same thing as the other guy, but not remapping the winter mode etc.

The next time you guys come down our way for another dyno/tune, I'd like to possibly have this done. Do you think this may eventually wear out the tranny sooner? I had a Taurus SHO back in the 90's with a quicker shifting mod and it took it's toll on the tranny. Hopefully the AMG tranny is built tough enough. Thanks again guys!

You are THE MAN!!!

Hopefully I'll be buying an old Audi A3 as a winter beater tomorrow... then I can have the down time to ship out the TCU!

I swear, when I bought this car, I said "no modding this one, it's fast enough & dependable"... WTH happened to me!!!

I'll need to get my nerve up to remove my TCM and really get it up to mail it anywhere. Put me on the list as wanting, needing and nervous ... as usual.

...so I bring both. I'm pretty sure an update to my two year old tune wouldn't hurt either, and cut me some slack I typed that while trying to avoid doing work...Mistakes happen.

...I wish I was coming at the end of the month (and may still)...but had to come home at the beginning of the month to take care of some things. I'll see what I can do about getting down for the mile. You're flying into Houston and driving over right?
