12.8 / 12.9 avg AFR's
14ish Max AFR's
Looks like AMG tuned on the lean side. Hmm.
Well you know what they say....." If it ain't lean....it aint mean "
What fuel octane was in the tank ? 91 or 93 ?
PS: Less than 20% drivetrain loss for whp is awesome for the C63 !

Try BMC F1 filters. Harder to get and a bit more expensive, but I remember reading a report about them having better performance. The Mercedes DTM cars use them.

403 on the same dyno?
Every car is different, you must factor: Weather conditions, Engine builder, Temps, break-in procedure...I have seen this on our dyno many times......
A safe statement to say: A car can vary 20WRHP a day.....
I bet your engine was cooler during the pull vs.....

I think if i do get an air filter, i'll get the K&N one since i can find it easier, and also cheaper lolz
What else does it actually do apart from filters the air better??
I'm assuming by that, it increases air flow, hence providing that extra power, and also improves response??
Or am i hoping too much from something so little lolz

Honestly, i tihnk an air filter replacement can only do so much....
I'm sure both brands will be similar, but I just know K&N better so will stick to that (unless other price is alot cheaper!!)
