exactly....I never understood how any of these airboxes could help when you have the same size inlet tubes and same box bottoms . the only ones that I ever saw that helped were the modifications that you and Earl did to your toys and the ram air setup I bought from Keith . without doing modifications to the whole intake setup , there is little room for power improvements .

Take it easy OP, no one trying to burst any bubbles. Just trying to slow you down a bit as your title screams, "hurry up and look at me, I'm doing stuff no one else has done yet".
In any event, I cant wait to hear about your journey with the new ride (congrats btw) and your new mods! Should be a fun time, and I'm excited to see the dyno results.
Saw the pic you posted above, incredible car man!
Happy Modding!

Ill-received gain in my previous C63 was some spectacular no one can ever hold on to or forth it. We gave seen maxnificants failed. We nee to start a schooll. A place when the Avengers with like minded and help of Prof X and his evil group of mutants. I have dyno info that proves the Carbonio gains 8-15mph.
I will be sharing all Dyno sheets with this forum.

I would've skipped the air box (nothing more than engine bay bling).
Nonetheless, the rest of the upgrades sound pretty good.
My question is this: Isn't it kind of a waste opting for the 507 and then having that more aggressive tune (used in conjunction with the borrowed forged internals) written over by the Eurocharged tune?
Another question (open to anyone): What would be the difference between a 507 Edition car running a Eurocharged tune only (v4) and a "standard" '13 C63 running the Eurocharged tune (v4)?
Thanks in advance.
I ordered the MyGenius and tune from Eurocharged a few months ago but have yet to install it. I'm still not quite numb to the 451 horsepower yet. Furthermore, it would be useless to have the extra power right now as my car still has the ridiculously skinny (and square) winter Blizzak setup equipped.
Nonetheless, the rest of the upgrades sound pretty good.

really? lol..i got bored of the 451hp the first week, now I'm at almost 500hp and I'm bored of that, i put it back to stock tune for a run and i was like "nope" ...EC doesn't even give that much bump..like 40-50hp max..velos really pushes it with around 80hp and you actually really notice it then either way EC isn't undriveable it's very drivable,
either way EC isn't undriveable it's very drivable,I've been running turbocharged BMWs for so long now (since '07) that I'm still enjoying/getting used to the blissfully smooth, instant, and linear power delivery of the M156. My tuned BMWs were quick and had gobs of torque but they simply ran out of breath at the top end of the rpm range. The C63 plows ahead with eagerness at 5.5k rpm and above.
On all of my turbocharged cars I got bored with the power relatively quickly. Within a few months I would either go the Dinan or M Performance route.
I suppose the Eurocharged tune won't compromise that feeling. If anything I've read that it enhances the smoothness of the power delivery in the more aggressive throttle/shifting programs (S, S+).
Now that I'm thinking about it, what am I waiting for?
But back to my question, would a 507 Edition with the Eurocharged tune only be on the same footing power-wise as a standard car with the v4 tune only? Or would the forged internals on the 507 help to further maximize the Eurocharged tune's output?

The forged internals are really there to help with the longevity of the engine, not the output it produces. While the rotating assembly is somewhat lighter and would in theory spin up a little faster, the power produced by the two engines would be identical.

That's why I said I thought it would be a bit of a waste to get the 507 and then have the OEM tune overwritten with an aftermarket one (since you're paying a premium for the factory power bump).
But I suppose you do get some very nice (and unique) aesthetic bits, different rotors, and gorgeous wheels with the 507. Plus you have the forged internals for longevity's sake.
