Hey BB, Looks like 10 seconds or bust.
I had some strange problems after servicing mine, corrected by reseating the air box.
With all the modifications underway check the basics: Intake leak, Injector air leak, Compression + leak down test. swap coils around to redirect a bad coilpack. How about the intake air valve Hi/lo flow
Just a shot in the dark.
All the best, Gator

Axles, hubs, cf driveshaft, solid diff mounts, bigger diff etc installed. Waiting on tcu and installing SC and getting that tuned

Quote: what are your plans then what blower
Just an AMG blower for now. Which is proving to be a pita to install. It's not just SC and pulley swap for my car.

Getting closer. Still a few obstacles to tackle and waiting for mechanical bypass and ecu tune.

Yes i do. Have had it for over a week now. Quite a few things need to be modified. Once i receive the bypass valve the car should be ready for tuning within a couple days

Did you ever go to the track to see the 1/4 mile time for your c63 bs when it was stock? Since you have both and actually drive them hard rather than make them garage queens, I'm curious to know how much the times improved with the c63 bs over the clk bs with the new transmission and someone with drag experience
