Wow. Serious stuff...congrats! You got extra 50 hp/tq at the crank compared the standard ECU tune, plus what seems to be a great sound from the little I can hear in the video. This is the proper way to tune this car. Any more sound bites you can share so we can hear your beast properly?

I have not recorded any vids but here is one from Switzer when they had the car: http://instagram.com/p/sfnJ0TIdap/?u...campaign=video

I'm not that talented with video. I think Switzer's media people put it together.

Mad sound. The stock sound is quite good but your upgrade makes it sound even better without being over board.

That's sweet. Just got my ECU back from Alpha Performance. Man I can't believe the change in performance. They advertise on the CLS63 performance increase from 518HP to 701HP and 832 lb. ft. of torque. Hadn't opened her up yet, but burn out at 40mph.
