C300d remap

[Woodspoiler1960]

I am thinking of remapping my c300d
Is it worth doing for a extra second for 0 to 60 will it hurt engine

No , and there's more to it than shaving a second .

Driveability .

In what way please

It's mainly smoother power delivery and better mid-range torque (which is typically the bit we feel & use most in day-to-day driving... especially on the public road). Unless you're a regular at the traffic light Grand Prix, it's these gains that are more telling than the simple 0-60 times. ("Usable performance", if you will).

A good map (and mapper!) will also deliver a little more towards the upper end of the rev range, and they generally won't be detrimental to the engine (or drivetrain) unless the car is ragged senseless on a regular basis, but then...

I had my old CLS 320 mapped by MSL - it wasn't night & day difference, just smoother & a little more urgent across the range, which was exactly what I was after, with no recorded detriment to fuel economy either.

MSL and GAD are the guys to talk to although I am sure there are other good ones - these guys are known to the forum and do a good job.

Where are you based?
