2008 CLK63 AMG Black Series, 2022 BMW X3 M40i
Thanks for the update MOFLO. I'm listed on there twice. #3 and #12. Feel free to update the list for a more accurate head count.
Seems like this will be a nice MB enthusiast meet. Maybe a record number of CLK63 Blacks in one spot?

Just to clarify (I did a search already), is this blip upgrade only a TCU tune with no modifications to any other parts (i.e. valve body, fluids, etc)? And what would be the regular price on this (In case I don't make it on this date)?

If I'm not mistaken, this is something integrating from the design of the C63BS intake pipes; so instead of sucking up air beneath the radiator, the pipes goes straight on top of the radiator.. at least that's what it looks like under the hood of my car after they did the ecu/filters/ROWbox upgrades.

Does it look something like this now (compared to the stock CLK63BS setup)?

The Weistec website is now updated with all the latest pictures/videos and information, in case anyone else has questions.
Should be a great turn out of a lot of beautiful cars. Stop by the shop on blip day to check out the cars!

Thanks for the update. Technically speaking, this update should extend the life of the engine for those who drive in manual frequently.
For those that already have gotten this done, does it really tune the upshifts so they are "firmer" (Text taken from the Weistec site)? What does that mean anyway? And does it fix the problem of missing rapid multiple downshifts (Which I assume was a limitation or preventive measure in the transmission software logic)?

The downshift is delayed or "missed" to protect the engine from over revving. I don't think anyone wants their trans to downshift and have the motor rev past 6-7K RPM. That can't be good long term.
