Need some advise to hit the 500hp on my c63

Hello to everyone, I recently realize that I had the wrong car and changed my c350-08 for a new c63-09. Now I want a little bit of more power without affecting my warranty. Any advise? The ECU upgrade could be an option? is there an add-on to factory ECU or I have to send out mine for programing? Thanks

ECU gets your HP even higher than the higher class 63 models.

Bang for the buck it's hard to beat Powerchip.

Are any of the others under $2000? I dunno.

Yes, full tune.

63-K1: A sophisticated new ECU software. Up to 535 HP and 650 Nm (481 lb-ft) of torque.
63-K2: K1 + a set of high flow exhaust manifolds and downpipes with steel sport catalysts. Up to 560 HP and 700Nm (519lb-ft) of torque.


K1 is $1500 if I'm not mistaken. I'm not sure about the K2 package but I belive it's in the $4k-5k range.


edit- here's a thread about the tune
