Not long ago the shop picked up a new 2012 Mercedes E63 AMG 5.5 biturbo development car. Over the past couple of months Mitch and Chris (AMS Tuners) have been working inside our new European Tuning division of AMS called Archetype tuning.

Using our in house software they were able to remap our E63 and pick up some ridiculous power.

225 ft lbs of torque over stock and 155 more whp in the mid-range.... all from JUST a custom AMS /Archetype tune.

Next up is a slew of hardware upgrades including the turbos

34.50

Am I reading this wrong? I see an increase in 92 HP, and 225 ft-lbs of torque (if run 4 = stock)

AMS_Performance

The text you are reading and comparing is the peak HP at max rpm.

The graph is noted to show the huge gains across the board. This is something people tend to over look and is really most important vs just peak numbers.

amazing numbers!

I'm getting a tune from AMS / Archetype on my CLS63 AMG next week. They've done a lot of work on my GT-R - full engine build, turbos, intakes, BOVs, exhaust, tune, ICs, fuel pumps, injectors, transmission, etc. with their Alpha10 package (see sig) and the car is amazingly fast and AMS has been great to work with. Eric mentioned the performance gains they were seeing on this new AMG engine and how they were developing parts for it and that pushed me over the edge in getting one.

is this taken on high temperature? how is the mpg compare to stock under normal driving?

AMS_Performance

The runs are comparing two pulls at average engine temperature. Not too high, not too low.

MPG under part throttle or cruising is not changed in the least

ZAC!!! nice to see you made your way here!

What is the cost of an AMS tune for the CLS63? I see that AMS is not the only GTR tuner getting into the Mercedes TT market.

AMS_Performance

We have not finalized our flash price yet but it looks like its going to be $2495.00 We are going to have an introductory offer for the first five customers interested. All we ask is for some honest feedback after the flash

PM me for more info

Looking good Eric. Will you be offering your flash and hardware upgrades through your European division? If yes please PM me the contact info.

Thanks

Yes Ken, we have a new division of AMS called Archetype Tuning. This is where all the flashing will come from. The site is still under construction but I will post up the link when its done.

On the hardware side of things for now i think it is going to fall under the AMS brand. We might create a European division but as of right now its still going to be an AMS part line.

For contact you can call any of us at AMS, myself included.

We are the authorized AMS installer and we have done quite a few GTR builds for them. That being said, we are primarily a Mercedes tuning facility so its exciting to see AMS enter this market!

so how do you do an AMS tune, if its not done by AMS themselves,

how does it work, does AMS send you guys the specific computer tuning specs to flash the chip. and you guys just plug it in at your place..
thanks

AMS_Performance

Our dealers currently would send us the ECU so we can load our program in it. They also would test the tune and verify its accuracy on that specific car in the event we need to optimize it even further / extract more HP.

Very shortly we will have hardware we can send them to tune without them having to send in the ECU to us.

We just finished up Zac's 2012 CLS63 AMG

Once again stock vs Stock with an AMS Archetype custom tune

Dude your sig is absolutely hilarious!!
My gf loves it too

I posted some thoughts on the tune in a different thread, but to summarize again, the tune is great and I am very happy with it. The dyno above very much correlates with my butt dyno which tells me the car is making a huge amount more power. You can easily feel it The car drives like stock until you get into the gas which is great as it doesn't change the feel for daily driving. Fuel economy is the same for normal driving as well. So much more fun now.
