MSL/EUROCHARGED V5 TUNE EXPERIENCE
Hi, just thought I'd put a thread together about my recent experience with my C63 AMG. I had seen and read a lot off threads over the last couple of months about the Eurocharged V series tune plus members experiences and I must admit I wasn't quite convinced that something that was simply downloaded and then loaded too the cars ecu though the MyGenius handheld device could change what I already thought was a excellent car. Well, I'll hold my hands up and say I was wrong. The power and driveability is on another level and the downshifts. I can honestly put my hand on my heart and say it's the best money I've ever spent on a car and believe me I've spent a serious amount of money over the years on cars. So I'd just like too say a big THANK YOU too Acid@MSL PERFROMANCE(Birmingham UK) for the excellent customer support and supplying me with the V5 Tune in the first place plus Philip, Tiff and Jerry @ EUROCHARGED(Houston) for all there help and making such an amazing tune for the Mercedes Benz C63 AMG. Ramble overThanks lads

Funny... I was going to post this tonight, but I'll hop on your thread.
I just flashed mine in on Saturday and was likewise impressed. Here is my rundown of reasons from "real" to more "experiential" reasons...
1. Throttle response noticeably more reactive but still smooth
2. Lower end power with less lag
3. Power delivery at upper end more than expected per butt dyno
4. Downshift "barks" sound even better, especially from high speed with heavy braking
5. Feels more like a proper track car
6. I find myself driving more with the windows down even in cold weather
7. The seats are even more comfortable
8. I think I lost an inch off my waistline and might even be a little taller
9. I feel like my wife has been eyeing me more but she just can't put her finger on why
I've been tempted on this for some time, just fell out of extended warranty and it went on sale the same time I won our local poker tournament for close to the same price... when the stars align... ya just go.

So.. Really worthy, right? I own a Black Series, which is already on the edge of the M156 tune. The Eurocharged doesn't seem to add "much" (with all do respect to their tune).

Hard to say the difference you will see given your starting point... It made a huge difference for me... sadly putting my skinny 225 winters on soon...

That's kind of a worthless test. 1/4 mile is much more telling. 0-60/62 is more about grip off the line and skill of the driver. 1/4 mile tells both about the launch and the power. For example, a hellcat runs mid- to low-11s with a high trap. That shows poor grip and high hp. An S4 is kind of the opposite, decent ET and 60' but slow trap. That means good grip and not much power. A modded GTR is kind of the best of both. Good ET and trap. Good grip and high hp. When people talk about 0-60, I take it with a grain of salt. The surface, tires, and driver play so much into it that it's relatively worthless.
