12.25 @ 115.58 - Traction Off - "S" - Launch at 2k RPM

12.26 @ 115.28 - Traction Off - "C" - Just Slam Gas on Green

12.22 @ 114.87 - Traction Off - "S - Just Slam Gas on Green

MY friend has a tuned BMW 550 and he launches at 3k RPM and pulls a 1.7 60 ft.

Next time I will try to launch higher.

The tune is worth it as you can see the power gains from my track times 12.7 Stock to 12.2 Tuned

I raced a SRT8 Magnum Intake Exhaust Tune & BMW 550 M Sport JB4 Stage 1 - Both wins!

402/443 Stock 530/606 Tuned (450-460 RWHP Est from Renntech)

Yes, in each mode it was the same, I guess when you floor the petal you get the power in either mode.

I will have the Renntech Exhaust on my car in April 2015.

I will be at the track, hoping for 11.99.

Im in NJ so I have great track weather. -2200DA in best scenario.

Yes a Stock 63 amg even with PP I would be confident in a win if not very close. MY E63 has the Renntech also runs 11.1@126 its a monster.

Any ECU tune is so worth it with the CLS 550 as you can see I went from 12.7 to 12.2! I chose Renntech because of their history and experience. They are also more expensive then other companies.

On top of the tune you can add the intake filters and exhaust.

I will be putting aftermarket wheels on my car still deciding on 19 or 20 inch.

wow!...i think it would be capable of hitting high 11's all day if it had launch control...yeah I'm just waiting for AMS to release their bolt ons and i will be getting those and bringing it to RENNTECH for a tune!...if i hit 11.9 with mine...ill be happy...i still wish i would've been able to get the 63amg but i couldn't...the 550 is enough for a 21 yr old...the budget AMG-LOL
