Custom ECU tune/ Highest RWHP C63
I just got back from Futrual Motorsports with a buddy that dyno tuned his LS2 vette that he put LT's on and they managed to squeeze 383.1 rwhp out of an otherwise stock LS2...Now this is where my wheels began turning...
What the highest RWHP someone has seen on a dyno out of a c63?
Now on the way home my wheels began doing a burnout and the following ran through my head...albeit after a few celebratory drinks...
Can the M156 ECU be actively flashed...like dyno tuned??? If so, why hasn't anyone with a check book the size of China said..."Lets stuff EVERYTHING under the hood, punch the motor, size some custom CP pistons, add a wiestec (or not), heads, cams, pulley, throttle bodies, full exhaust...the WHOLE 9yds and then lets just see what happens???"
I know I'm comparing a burger to kobe beef, but UG racing and Heffners seem to be able to build a gallardo block, twin turbo it and VOILA...1500hp. I think it would just be cool to see someone drag a c63 to texas mile and throw down a 200mph run. I guess I'm just talking out my butt, b/c there is no chance I could ever afford it and I've only had my c63 for 2 months, but please tell me I'm not the only dreamer on here...
Hell of a 2nd post if i do say so myself...lol

Yes, it has been done.
Forum member, JRcart has virtually done almost everything you can think of to the M156.
There are other members here to that have done alot of work to they're engines but JRcart's is the most heavily modded one have come across.

yes it can be done. Alot of folks in this forum including myself have done it. It is not something weird.
because alot of those paramaters in th ECU canot be messed around with and they are locked, espeially the files that control the camshafts. thats why people like Hefner cannot preform a twin turbo system for this motor. The only guys that could do that and have access to those files are Brabus.
Thats nothing new. Hennessey is able to do the same thing on Gallardos. Hoever, for the M156 platform its difficult
That wont be all difficuilt right now with a fully moded wesitec M156
Indeed you are, being that you havent been around here and that this is your first post. No offense

Hey Keith,
To be honest when I joined the forum we didn't get along so well but that all changed after Vegas. He had to borrow my reg to get through the street car Tech and we have never looked back.
We push each other which keeps the R&D coming. If you think we are on each other now, the spring running should have you pissing yourself laughing!
Sin - Perhaps the casual look as you would look at anyone passing but checking out...never!

Dodger...who said the car was not registered?
The registration was back at the hotel. Turn around time would have been an hour so he used mine.
Keith - when are you going to be in Floriday?

The LS2 making 383whp is very subjective. You could put a LS2 vette 6 sppeed manual on a Dynojet and make that 383 whp but put a LS2 auto on a Dyno Dynamic Dyno and you get 360 whp.
I put 457whp/427lb-tq on my bone stock 2008 C6 Z06 on a Dynojet. Added LG motorsports and Killer bee air filter and only added 13whp(no tune though).
