On a stock C63 you cannot dyno in 5th because of the speed limiter. You are forced to dyno in 4th. The top of 5th(1:1) gear is 186mph and none of the limiters will allow you to reach that point. The stock limiter is 155, option 251 Delimitation of top speed is 174mph, therefore unless you have a tune that totally eliminates the top speed you cannot complete a 5th gear dyno pull. Good luck!

MRAM, I should be back in the country in 7-10 days (maybe a bit longer) so if you want please PM or email me your phone number. I would be more than happy to personally discuss with you anything that you have even a shadow of a doubt about. I promise you that any reservations you may have will no longer be present post discussion.
Thanks!
Andy

This would at least make the comparisons much easier.

MB Forever,
I believe most continue to dyno in 4th because that keeps the comparisons fair for those that can't dyno in 5th. In order for me to compare my stock dyno to any new one I have to run 4th because the stock dyno was in 4th. Not trying to muddy the waters just thinking from my own point of view. Just thinking out loud.
5th gear is a true 1:1 but it takes much longer which puts more strain on the engine and runs the dyno's to a much greater speed. Just my 2 cents worth.
If we could all dyno in 5th then I'm sure we would.

2009 C63 AMG Black on Black PP Package CF fully loaded
I'm really sorry and I'm not trying to prove anyone wrong. Actually I'm a fan of MHP but I think there is a company that does "TCU upgrades for all models" (quote from the company site ) I think that includes 63 series since they offer an ECU tune as well.

Not at all. For point of reference (and I'm not saying anything bad about MKB because I think they have solid products) but you could pay $14,700 for their stage 2 ECU (no part thorttle or TCU) and shorty headers that require cutting/welding or thousands less for our Stage 2 package which includes:
v3 ECU/TCU (search for "Stefario"s results from his independant dyno of our software on his stock c63, vid on youtube), Carbonio CF airboxes/high flow filters, 180F Thermostat, Thermalnator intake gaskets, and SS longtube headers with high velcoity merge collectors with or without catted mids that bolt up directly and mate with the factory catback or our own race catback.
Please contact me via email with any specific questions. Our new website will be up soon and will include all pricing, info on all our packages (next up stall converter, and H/C).
Thanks
Andy

FYI, a 6.2L motor with 40mm intake valves/33mm exhaust valves and heads that flow over 400cfm intake/300cfm exhaust at .500" lift with the stock cam specs (we cam doctored them) needs 1 7/8" primaries and a full 3" exhaust for optimal performance. That's why as you'll note, we make more power and torque across the board. Anyone that says otherwise (about larger diameter tubing) has obviously never fabricated an exhaust system.
Thanks
Andy
