M157 DMS Remap
Discussion
Anyone tried one of the latest 700bhp & 700ft/lbs remaps. It got a great write up in the latest Evo on a CLS63 AMG so for the price I am seriously considering on my SL63 AMG. But before I take the plunge I am just interested in other experiences. I had a DMS on a previous 996TT that I could change from the OBD port but the current remap requires an engineer visit.
700ft/lbs at 4krpm anyone?

Hi Mike 
Still not got my splitter sorted...
I'm back down to have my box re-fitted on the 9th August (car just had it's first service so had to remove it) if you fancy a look?
As for the prices, no idea really what these are as we were guinea pigs for them. Mine worked absolutely fine from day one, apart from an initial flat spot which seemed to resolve itself quite quickly, though 90% + of the time it's in S and not manual.
No idea what DMS charge either, though it sounds like the OP got a good deal. Hope it works out well for you, nice that it's on a CLS as well.
Mine is a SL not a CLS - sorry. It's a weekend toy so I also tend to just leave it in S or S+ and not really use the manual so hopefully fine on the clutch but thanks for the heads up - I will ask them about any prior experience. Yes a substantial reduction from the headline price has been offered and they will come to me which is ideal. I like the idea of a clean install and from a reputable company but a separate box is also fine if it gives the same gains but not seen anyone provide similar performance gains.

I am waiting for the response to a few final questions and a call from MSL to see what alternatives are available before placing the order but looks likely that I will go with DMS and get it fitted later this month. Will give an update once done.
You did - we must be in a quite small and elite group now. I never asked how many of these cars had been done but Rob - the DMS MD turned up to do the work with a couple of spare ECUs (very reassuring but clearly not needed). He did both the SL and the Mrs Mini JCW (she wasn't around and doesn't know 
- the remap is now on the Sport button).
The SL is so smooth until you press the loud pedal then the horses of the apocalypse grab the car and just keep pulling and pulling. I wasn't expecting such an improvement over an already fast car but was pleasantly surprised. I was concerned about hesitation and flat spots from a previous Porsche remap experience but shouldn't have been - remap development has moved on and the map is perfect. Also enjoyed chatting with Rob and watching him do the work.
Would certainly recommend them to anyone else considering their services.
