2012 CL-63 Tune
Hi I am new to this forum and will be purchasing a 2012 or 13 CL-63 I have not seen much in new threads on this car thus far.In 2005 I owned a new 2006 CL-55 AMG and just loved that car.I would like to find the P-30 performance option however there are very few out there. With that being said is there anyone familiar with Alpha or others that do ECU tuning?
Thanks in advance!

I would look on the E63, CLS63, SL63 and S63 sites as well in that order. Since all the platforms share the same motor, you will be able to gather more info to help guide you in selecting your tuner.

Don't waste your time with the stereo and get that killer chiller installed!!! I'm curious to see how it works. You have a lot more race time under your belt than me, I've only made passes a total of 3 times in my life, all with this car. I think we are the only ones really playing with these cars and I appreciate your help. good luck on your side of the continent.

Killer chiller is already sitting on my "parts to install" shelf. 
Always glad to help any way I can. A lot of my passes are bracket racing though so I'm not always set on kill trying to run a number. Since I don't have a cage the track will only let me run King Of The Street or Trophy classes with the CL instead of the money bracket I used to run. My desktop is looking different now that I run trophy 6 days each of the last 2 years.

Its just that some of us are paying for the consequences of our over-ambitiousness. After three years of work, including rebuilding the turbos last year, I finally got my Euro-charged V12TT motor running as it should, then what did I do? Broke the transmission! I've been rebuilding that an hour every evening for the last few weeks. I just finished putting the awkward B2/B3 clutch assy together tonight.
I never took my car to the dyno or the strip, but I feel like I ought to, considering how much I've done to her.

I can say from experience that once the bug hits and we start to have fun and see results at the track that it becomes a mission to tweak and make her even faster.
Never with high end cars like these but with American muscle!
Make the power, put the power down now we need bigger gears, axles etc its a balancing act and someone has to start it rolling to find the weakest link.
Keep up the good work your cranking!

How many miles on your car? I think you know your car (literally)inside and out and better than most. I hope the tranny is the last thing for a while. Did you do turbo upgrades or just stock rebuilds? Either way, at this point with all the suspension repairs, coolant modifications, fresh turbos and tranny you should have a beast on your hands. Good luck.

2013 CL 63-AMG
TunerWerks CA?
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!!
I purchased a sweet 2013 CL- 63 AMG with performance package and as she stands I find this car to be a solid straight line performer. However without re inventing the wheel so to speak I would like to perhaps further maximize her potential!
Are any of you guy's or gals as you just never know these days, familiar with the modules from TunerWerks out of CA?
They claim just with ecu change 178 hp and 236 ft lbs of torque over standard model which on my performance package equates to 151 more hp and 163 ft lbs of torque .
I would need to see real world results someone with ecu that has said miles etc before and after in order to make the change.
Thank you and have a great Holiday!
