Powerchip 72hp/70tq for your C63 @ ViViD Racing!!!
Your Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG 6.3 uses an ECU which has 'flash' memory. The flash EPROM inside the ECU is a hybrid and cannot be modified via a replacement part. Powerchip can 'flash' program the EPROM device by interfacing with the computer's wiring connector plugs to reprogram the chip that contains the engine's fuel delivery, ignition timing and throttle response settings. The ECU will need to be removed from the vehicle and sent via overnight courier to Powerchip. We have full photo ECU removal instructions to assist you and we will contact you after the order is made to organize the shipping information and other details.
In standard form, the C63 AMG 6.3 produces 451 hp and 443 lb.-ft.
Powerchip has a range of chips to suit your car, which can increase it's power to 523 hp, and it's torque to 513 lb.-ft.
The price of the Powerchip is USD $1,490.00, but MB World pricing is $1,095.00! Sale ends soon!
So we tested the Powerchip on our own C63. The process is very easy we mailed our stock ecu and they sent the flashed ecu back in just two days. For those who don't know the ecu is located under the hood located in the upper left corner. Just remove the cover and there is your ecu and just unplug all connections. The whole process takes two minutes or less.
The conditions were:
Car: STOCK 09 C63
Dyno: Mustang
Octane: 91
Temp Outside: 75 degrees
Altitude: 1600 ft above sea level
The results the car made an additional 45whp/42wtq! Again with no mods!
Thanks for reading,
Phil

Good to know guys. I personally have been doing business with Vivid racing since 02(when they had the Subaru and bought a white evo 8), been there in two of your stores with Mitch in the Dyno, I was there wheen your original shop was near that Porsche shop near the culdesac.
It is really good to know that you guys are working on a C63. Me and you guys have the same project cars in the last few years including the 335i Coupe and your exhaust, again, good to know that you guys are into the C63 world.
The one thing that I must say about you guys is that you are your own guinea pig, you guys always test your own ***** on your cars before it gets release so the fitment is right. Are you still partners/co-owners with Agency Power?

The 72hp/70tq are crank numbers from Powerchip's website. It was done on a C63 that was on 93 octane and at sea level.
The conditions may vary but that would be the minimum 45whp/42wtq

45whp/42lb-tq is a lot on that dyno on **** gas and in the sunny valley. That dyno is NOT a dynojet and is NOT at sea level and wasn't done on 93oct like many people on the East coast or north west coast in the winter. I am not trying to tilt the balance on either way but at least make the assesment a bit more fair. My .2c

If you put it that way, OE tune is done on 91 **** gas and has the same weather as you guys. That's your apples to apples comparison. You have your .2cents and I have my .2 cents. We're all entitled to our opinions. I just made a comment about the return on investment vs. other tuners. For the record, I didn't bash Powerchip or vivid.
@VividRacing, I'm not sure if you're aware of the recent slew of "bad experiences" with Powerchip? If you search (not just on this forum), you'll find quite a few of them. There is one video on YouTube in particular that is just too hilarious

+1 OE tuning is done on 91 octane and on a low-reading dyno dynamics.

We are promoting Powerchip because it is a great product that we use on our C63. They are giving us a great deal on the tune and we wanted to pass the savings on to the C63 owners of MB World.
I have read complaints about Powership but it does not out weigh the happy customers that have Powerchip. To each his own, you cant please everyone.

Thank You!
It is still under development. The prototype as you can tell is on our C63 project. It is on the dyno right now! I will release more information when we get closer to the final product.
