Yeah, the v6 feels a lot more responsive and definitely seems like it pulls harder - very happy with it. The learning of AFRs in the v6 provokes a lot more backfire, especially when letting off the gas at high RPMs and shifting gears.
Interesting. Your AFR looks to be low 12's in the higher rpm range (not really lean for an N/A motor tbh) but mine was high 12's, bordering on 13's. Your motor is still 30whp above mine though....must be a hoot to drive! Great power for the mods
Curiosity question from a Dyno newbie: All three runs stopped at about 6,800 rpm. On the other dyno posting today, https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...drys-dyno.html
they let it run all the way out to 7,200 rpm. Why the difference?
Very impressive numbers! What shop did you take it to? Here is my p31 dyno with ROW boxes, AFE air filter, and V5 tune. At first, my bench tune from Eurocharged didn't produce any gains (same whp as stock & same 1/4 mile times) but Jerry adjusted the tune on the dyno. I haven't gotten a chance to dyno the V6 tune yet or run it at the track but the V6 tune is more smoother in throttle response than V5.

BTW, I used 360 Customs in Brandon for the dyno.
I took mine to Proven Power. Great bunch of guys over there! Super knowledgeable and friendly.
Cool, yeah I've used them before. Good guys as you mentioned. Do you ever go to the track? I'm thinking of going Feb 2 as it's going to be cooler and I work in Bradenton so it's easy for me. Looking to improve on my stock times as I haven't ran it with V6 tune. I tried with the bench V5 tune but that tune didn't net me any power so my times were same as stock.
