Would love to see what the actual acceleration performance is for each of these tunes since traction is the greatest limiting factor on the C63. I would bet that the actual 0-60 and 1/4 mile runs are not that different from stock, but I would love to be proven wrong since I REALLY want to believe that tuning actually makes a real life difference. I just have my doubts based on seeing road tests of other high end tuners cars in third party car magazines.

C63, IS-F
Brian,
My MHP v3 C63 is still available for a pre arranged Saturday shootout at your shop. Round up some of your tuned customers and let’s make this happen on film. We can have some 30-1XX runs on the straight away by GT PRO. If any other tuned C63’s are interested in participating in this So Cal shoot out (Evosport is VERY local….., Kleemann, Renntech, Singh, etc) let’s make it happen. Main event….Silver Dragon vs. Dads C63…..ok I am dreaming.
Also, I can 100% guarantee that my MHP v3 software made a HUGE difference in the performance of my vehicle. I also own an IS-F (stock) that use to keep up with my stock C63 from 70-125 (I, as well as MANY other people could not believe it). After breaking in my MHP software I easily walked 3-4 CL during the same test and gained almost 2 miles per gallon (up from mid 14’s to low 16’s). Not to mention, both Brian and I noticed a positive difference in the shifting of my vehicle when compared to all the other tunes (and stock).
I am also very pleased with my GT PRO secondary cat delete X-pipe. I can definitely feel a difference in the midrange and a slight improvement in throttle response. My car is also very quiet now (time for headers….). Thanks again Brian and Andy for making my C63 into a beast.

'09 C63
Just got the Kleemann ECU tune for my C63 and it is amazing. I got it done by James at ACG in San Diego, I was in and out in a day. Amazing service, especially compared to Group 5 Motorsports, where i had my Cats removed. Highly reccomend ACG to anyone in the San Diego Area.

Last month I met a C63 owner who is a neighbor of mine here. I didn't get a chance to ask if he was on the board but that might make six of us. I'll catch up with him in the next few weeks and see what's up.

This is sounding more and more like the guys up in Vancouver. There is also a guy with a white one that works at Capriotti's corporate behind my wife's office, but, he is not an enthusiast. That makes seven!

Frankly I'm not comparing my tune to that tune or the other, but I am comparing my stock to my final and that speaks for itself. Kudos to Eurocharged.

I'm fairly certain that we'l be doing a stock base dyno run and then a Kleeman tuned run on my car shortly. My tires are a bit bald though so we may need to have that corrected beforehand. I'll keep everone posted.... Lock and Load!
