W205 C63S Tune only vs 2009 E63 M156 Tune Only
Hi everyone,
So something interesting happened last night.
I had a couple of CLEAN runs from a roll against my friend's 2009 E63 + Tune only.
I had my car tuned by Dime and it felt MUCH MUCH faster after the tune. Seriously.
We had a couple of runs in Mexico starting from 20mph, 40mph, and 60mph. We weree neck to neck until we reached 110mph and then he started pulling on me FAST. 2-3 cars length.
Now, I do respect his win and I'm happy for him but it also obviously makes me wonder these questions:
1. Stock vs Stock - Isn't the M177 faster than the M156?
2. What's the max HP/TQ a tune only M156 gets and what should be the numbers for the M177?
Btw, for the first 2 runs, I was in S+ fully automatic. That's where he pulled on me the hardest.
The 2 other runs, I was in Manual in Race and I shifted right at 6k RPM and didn't let it hit the red line since I figured the turbos will breathe better if I shifted early. The M156 is NA so I knew he had an advantage at the top end.
Just looking for clarifications, might end up getting a turbo upgrade + downpipes from Steve @ Dime. Will get a before and after Dyno if I do.
Oh... and funny thing was that my friend's car was tuned by Steve when he used to work at Weistec.

Im surprised by the outcome, would of thought you would of pulled on him. I have tune and downpipes with my car and I usually run it in race mode and let it do the shifting. I ran my buddies alpha 7 gtr, we were doing rolls and I got the jump on him but we were neck and neck he didn't start to pull on me until we hit about 140.

something doesn't seem right, i would get ur car dynoed or maybe re-run it but shift at redline.
this run was 45-130mph as u can see i started to pull, we ran it again and i pulled 2-3 cars up to 160

What is this supposed to show exactly? Did the C63 catch up or did the C63S slow down at the end?
