On the renntech specifically, has anyone had any issues with warranty work (specifically that may be affected by the tune, say engine or driveline)?

My GTS is Eurocharged and it's a monster.

besides EC tune what have you done to modify your performance?

I currently have Sport Cup 2's on my GT S so I'm hoping they'll also hook up.

Tune and Downpipes! They make all the difference!

Besides the dyno and seat of the pants, have any of you actually gotten actual numbers after the tunes? When I say "numbers", I mean verified 60-130, trap speeds (1/4 mile as well as half mile).
Dyno numbers are great and all but what kind of trap speed improvements are to be expected?
I know my AMG GT S is not a dragster but since we're talking about a mod that increases power, traps and times are indicative.
Renntech has shown 10.94 @ 128 MPH (via their YouTube).
Weistec did 10.96 @ 126 MPH.
But what's disturbing is a stock one went 11.2 @ 127 MPH which shows the tunes above hardly made any improvements towards this.
I know there are a zillion variables between this small sample size of data, hence why more data from actual owners would be helpful.
