Typical gains posted by forum members have been 60rwhp/30rwtq+ SAE plus a longer powerband (raised shift points) and quicker shifts.

You think from a DIG he'll be 3-4 car lengths on me to 120-130? LOL Just to inform you a couple of months ago he had the shot tires and I jumped out in front about 2 car lengths on him. Now this time I had the bad tires and he got about 1 car or 1 car and half in front. I think there is NO WAY that his car will be in front of me by that much with just YOUR TUNE. I will run him againnnnnnnn. Any1 int he staten island area up to watch a fun run to vouch? I don't mind to lose win or or tie but I doubt that your tune will get it out that far ahead. No Offense
. I just hope you both run new/better tires to make it more fair. mthis said he'd get it on video next time.
AFAIK, mthis is ready to race him when he gets his ECU back. Otherwise I'm sure some of our other NYC C63s would as well.

Like I said, I meant no offense. You asked for my opinion and that was it, yours may differ. I just hope you both run new/better tires to make it more fair.

Is there anyone in these forums anymore that like to keep the car stock (performance wise) or is it just me lol. I was planning on leasing a e92 M3 when my Infiniti lease is up, but since I have been hanging around in these forums I think about not leasing the M3 and making my 55 a monster lol. I personally love the power stock and I don't have any motivation to make it faster then it is.

What motivates me most about an ECU tune is that the engine in the C63 is the exact same engine as in the S63 and CL63, just de-tuned. So I feel I'm just bringing the engine programming back/near to where it was engineered in the first place. Natural tuning extensions would then go to open the airbox & exhaust, as I understand these are restricted from what the S63 and CL63 carry as well. After that, I feel everything else is cosmetic surgery (whether for speed or for looks). Until that point, I feel those enhancements are not elective surgery.

I hear you. All my other toys I kept stock (except S4 tune), even with some nice enhancement potential.

I bumped into this guy with the MHP tuned c63 and I have a stock E55 and just installed my Cm30 pump yesterday. We did 2 runs from 0 and with my shi**y tires I couldn't get the car to launch but anyway both times lost by about 1 car and half. We also did 2 rolling starts and both times I got in front and he wasn't able to pass me both rolling races, about 1 car. We definetly hit speeds above 100mph but not on the runs from the dig. Fun runs, I really expected for it to pull really hard on the roll with the tune but not what I expected. You can see every time the gear changes on the C63 the front end of the car was bouncing hard in a downward direction I don't know why that was. This is my second night racing this car and this first time he had bad tires and this time I had the bad tires.
