Dyno results for my C63
So today the car was dyno'd comparing: 1) stock (with my MBH LT Headers and 300 cell cats, charcoal delete, european air filters, akrapovic slip on exhaust); 2) the Powerchip Stage 2 tune (same); and 3) the ACG Stage 2 Tune.
I know Xtyper had a bone stock dyno of 363whp/343wtq, so that might be a more apt comparison since my "stock" had headers, etc.
I am sure James from ACG will be able to add any technical commentary that are beyond my knowledge of what these numbers really mean and answer any questions.

Congrats Pert. Very nice numbers and smooth curves.
I'm actually driving down on Tuesday to have James reinstall the ACG tune after a dealer reflash and then heading over to that same dyno (assume they were done at The Dyno Shop) for some power pulls. With a similar setup to you, will be anxious to see how the results compare on the same dyno.

Thanks!! What is actually interesting is that while the "Peak" gains over Powerchip may not be huge...where I see (and definitely feel after driving) the difference is in the 1000-3500 rpm range. My car feels more responsive (almost scary) and feels quicker in the lower part of the power band. Since I am not running catless, I am still happy with a approximately +80hp and +50tq gain over what probably was bone stock (going by your car's numbers). James knows how I like my car to drive and knew that I didnt want him to push the limits just to squeeze out a couple HP there and a little TQ there...what I like is to feel that my car has some beef in the 2000-4000rpm range...in addition to what it has in the higher parts of the band. Overall, very very happy so far!!!

Holy f-ck *****!!! I just drove on the highway in comfort mode/automatic, and even that was a noticeable difference. Before I would have to press down to get to 80mph, and now, I barely apply any pressure and the car just hauls ***. Yes, yes I know, who the hell drives in comfort mode, blah blah blah...but I wanted to see if the car felt differently in the more tame modes when it is between 2500 and 3700 rpms...and yes, I can feel the difference! Big props again to ACG!!!

With the ACG tune, I notice that my car sounds louder on start up and at lower rpms. Again, very happy with the results.

so what is the acg tune?
is it separate from a kleeman or renntech tune which is what is see in the sig from the acg guy who flashed this thing?
i wish we had a sticky thread for the tunes like we do the headers.
