Also, does nayone know how much fall in temp you can expect to see from this setup?

They do, if you enter '2014 C63' as your vehicle. I have ordered the kit, however, the status has changed from in stock to backorderd. :-(

Thanks for the info, looks like the 2012 is a great car. Still, the jury is out on the MCT though. I've read where the wet clutch is the reason the tranny overheats. And the torque converter has a lock up feature that takes out all losses of the torque converter during cruise.
edit - correction, I just remembered I didn't trigger limp mode last year with the 507. There were a lot of different models there so we only had minimal seat time per car, and I was stuck behind traffic with the 507 so I couldn't go hard.

I have seen 240 degrees while driving to the airport in slow traffic with 90 degrees external temperature. I have seen 245 before after driving home from work on the interstate and then stopping momentarily at a red light. I have ordered a tune and am planning to go to a street race course later in fall.
I have ordered the optional cooling kit. I can keep you informed about how it goes.

Update: After ordering the optional oil cooling kit, it turns out it is not really available yet - my order is now on backorder status with unknown ETA. We will see.......

Thanks for the tip. They claim they have it and I placed an order. Let's see what they say Monday re true availability. They are cheaper than ECSTuning!

I'm pretty sure you'll be one of the first (if not the first) to have the kit retrofitted here in the U.S.
It's great to see members here push the envelope a bit. Best of luck man!

I am in for this upgrade. My wife (co driver) is right now driving us back for a fuel stop after a 3rd limp mode in 2 days. Damn it is frustrating as we have monstered a Ferrari 612, an F430, 565hp Aston Vantgage S, and stayed with GTRs and Lambos on hill climbs and track day. 2013 coup
e 507 making 460rwhp. 2 wicked stages beside a lake to go, praying it holds up on those last stages as its been a blast and the car a beast till this lame limp mode :-(

Really no reason to live with this. The oil cooling upgrade is available and straight forward. Details are here:
