Really? You forgot the sequence?

This was with tune only. With a few more trips to the track and different tires and of course other mods no doubt the car will be in the 11's. DYNO RWHP 436 TQ 510.
Just for fun & to put the 12.3 time in perspective, a stock ZL-1 (580 hp) runs (per the magazines shown):
6 Sp Manual ZL1
MT - 12.1 @ 117 mph
C&D - 12.3 @ 119 mph
R&T - *12.9 @ 113.1 mph

But ZL-1 with a tune will run in the 11's.

What size and kind of tires were you using?
Wonder what kind of time your car would run with drag radials?

CLS 550 RWD Storm Red
Stock 285 30 19 Pirelli P-Zero. As you noted before the car should really have come with a limited slip diff. With that and drag radials mid 11's.

RENNtech for 2012 CLS550?
Guys, called RENNtech today and I have the option of sending them the ECU unit myself or having it handled by the MB dealer where I bought it. As they explained, though it’ll cost a bit more, if I have it done at the dealer it’ll alleviate any (unlikely) extended warranty issues. The cost is slightly higher, but I think it’s worth the peace of mind. Thanks for posting all your experiences, because I was debating another company called PRESSERTech, which doesn’t have a relationship with MB or AMG. Can’t wait to get this done. Was debating an AMG E63S, but if these numbers are true, I can hold off on that for a while.

muffler delete on 2012 CLS 550

Does anyone know how a Renntech tune would work with muffler delete on a 2012 CLS 550? Would I see similar numbers or should I have my mufflers re-installed?
