Guys,
We had a great time and the weather was fantastic!! We beat the car to death and made 15 passes. As said above the best was 11.48 @ 121.58 but there was an 11.49 @ 121.50 with a 1.69 60' time. There were two 11.50's, one 11.51, two 11.52's, etc.... Car was VERY consistent. Best mph was the 121.58 and the best 60' was 1.682. Thanks to Andy at MHP for getting the tune done!! I know there is more to be had. These cars are a blast!!

Wait, hold on a second before popping any Champagne bottles, Congrats to the owner and driver of the car, a record is a record , but I am a bit confused. Are we sure this car really has an MHP v3 tune and not an Evotech, Powerchip or Renntech tune in it? Rumor is that another MB World member just had his MHP tune read and it was an Evotech program
I have been watching Andy and his false claims for quite some time now, I questioned Andy from the begining (check my old posts)(Andy, how are those factory warrantied tunes coming along? ) but have choosen not to get involved up until this point, I thought we had seen the last of that clown, but I guess I was wrong. If I am not mistaken Andy ran an 11.59 several months ago in Maryland with a v2, intake mods and DR's, now he is boasting about your 11.48 with his "V3" and shorty headers and exhaust. Call me a synic but I would assume a "V3" is better than a V2. Strange how a "V3" with MKB headers, exhaust, DR's and front runners would not run quicker than .110 seconds faster than Andy. It does not add up, Andy found another sucker. Let the brainwashing begin. The kool-aid line starts here

Hey Andy, where is the throttle blipping you claimed to have available on 63 tunes? I have yet to see a non-C63 with throttle blipping. Can somebody please show me evidence of throttle blipping on a CLK63 or a E63.

Just another Andy/MHP lie

see proof of lie below

Wow, good job Roman. Some people just can't be happy for anyone else can they. Talk about beating a dead horse To the best of our knowledge the car has MHP's v3 ECU/TCU tune in it. That's good enough for us. Great job on the tune MHP.

First of all I did say congrats to the owner/driver of the car, or did you miss that part?

"To the best of our knowledge the car has MHP's v3 ECU/TCU tune in it"

"That's good enough for us"

The shame of it is that it is thinking like this that allows scammers and con-men to dupe people out of their hard earned money. I think with all that has surfaced about Andy/MHP over the past several weeks questioning an MHP tune is not too far out of line. Not making any acusations just asking a very good question.

You questioning the tune is someone elses car, is not only none of your business, but completely dumb. Why is it any of your concern??? If you have a problem with MHP/ Andy go take it up with them on your own thread. You seem to be very concerned (almost stalkerish) with Andy, so finding somewhere is HATE shouldn't be problem.

Andy is on suspension for another week or so. He has viewed this thread and remembers you being a troll that left the linked thread after asking for an IP check.
Being that MHP is a sponsor and started this thread, we ask that you refrain from further posting including instigating, flaming, defamatory, libelous comments in this thread.
Congrats again to Keith for raising the bar yet again. I believe his previous best with MKB tuning was 11.63.

Thank You

Excuse me, stalkerish? lol You need to get a grip and speak with your brain and not just emotion. I have not posted on this site in a few months, I kept my mouth shut and quietly laughed when things were unfolding a few weeks ago, so how is that stalkerish? You are right, Dads C63's ECU is none of my business, but people should proceed with major caution before putting an MHP tune in their car.

"Libelous comments", there Andy goes with his legal scare tactics, oh so scary indeed. Andy, I have posted nothing that constitutes libel, therefore I am not affraid of your baseless threats. The last time I checked posing a question in an open forum does not constitute libel.

To be fair I believe the MKB tune was tested one day at the track and not far off the current times so I am curious if the MKB tune could have performed just as well with more testing and another day.

Personally I dislike tuners(people in general) back patting themselves steadily and this has turned me off from MHP. Example this thread started by the tuner and not racer which is one of many.

I see the good times as a testament to DADS drag racing skills as much as anything. Congrats and your happiness is all that matters for your car!

You are a troll and you have been asked nicely to refrain from further posting in this thread (since it was started by a sponsor you are obligated to stop by the TOU).

If you have an issue with Andy please call him directly at 614 940 9523.

If you wish to purchase a new MB with warranty and MHP tuning please call Andy and he will point you in the right direction as well.

Thank You
Tony

Andy called Keith and asked him if I could post the thread or wait for him to do it himself. Keith said go ahead.
I don't see anyone from MHP patting themselves on the back, just congratulating the owner/driver.
Also this was the first time to the track for Keith's MHP tune, I doubt he had 150 miles on the cal before testing either.
For the record (check dragtimes) Keith ran 11.63@119+ with MKB tuning and 11.48@121.58 with MHP tuning.

Thank You
Tony

Roman,
Thanks for the congrats. Last time I checked this car is the fastest C63 out there and the ECU thats in the car was supplied by MHP. When another car shows up that outruns it then that tune will be better. As far as it goes right now, the tune supplied by MHP is the fastest. FYI - their tuner is scheduled to fly down here in two weeks to tune the car on the dyno so that tune will be hard to dispute. If he never shows up then you may have cause to question. Otherwise, take up your beef with Andy at another place please.

Out of 15 runs the worst was an 11.673 @ 120.35 so the car was dead constant!! We had fun and thanks guys for the congrats.

PS: The Viper ran 137.39mph!! That was flying!! Thanks to Ben for trying the nitrous again. Wish the stock ECU would leave the torque managment alone!!
