What to do with my c63

Just two weeks into owning my edition one and I love it. I see others here that have modded or put in chips. I am not familiar with how or what kind of chips I would even use. Any suggestions???

Well, basically chips are little electronic computers that people put into their cars to maximize performance/efficiency. They can give you anywhere from 5hp-100hp (RARE, RARE, occasions, good luck finding one for the c63) based on the car and chip.

Most people here start with an ECU tune, since they are high outcome for little amounts of money.

Weistec and RENNtech are the best in my opinion.

Renntech is overpriced IMO. I got my eurocharged V4 tune for $850 or $1000. They claim your output will be around 530 bhp. I haven't dyno'd mine but it's much stronger now. Shifts are much quicker and smoother. Not to mention, I can flash back to stock whenever I want to get updated tunes for free when they come out or when I get more mods (headers, row airboxes, etc)

Eurocharged had a group buy awhile ago for $850. In the extreme case your car can't be flashed, you would just have to send in your ECU.

There's also OE Tuning, Velos, All are sponsors on this site I believe.

You can read about the experiences members had with each company and make your decision that way.

Stage 3 is referring to the Weistec Supercharger option. You'll need the supporting mods for that modification such as long tube headers and a built transmission unless you have the newer MCT, in which case, you won't need the built transmission.
