AMG GLC 43
RaceChip
is there anybody out there who has tried Racechip GTS on their AMG 43s? Thinking about buying buy but unsure:
- if it’s really reliable i.e. does not cause any ECU or mechanical failures
- does it really deliver what they claim ~60hp gain, ~1sec gain on 0-60mph
- would it void my OEM warranty
- is it as good as Renntech or Powermaster, other tuning products that are 2-5X more expensive
thanks!

Yes they are reliable. It is a German tuner and all products are Made in Germany. They even offer a warranty on the engine - but only in Europe.
Not sure how you came up with 1 second improvement. RaceChip posted a video reducing the time from 4.5 to 3.9 seconds. That's faster than a stock C63 AMG...
Technically, anything you do to your car can void your warranty. But RaceChip is traceless, so you are good once you removed it.
Actually, they have the best hardware and the bigges R&D team. They have a very competitive pricing, because they are not as well-known as Renntech yet. They sell to 135 countries, so the volume compensates the margin.
I am happy with it.

Thanks much MB-350 very helpful indeed!
Regarding 0-60 mph, I did not realize the video was for C43 AMG when I first saw it, so I took the GLC 43 standard 0-60 mph (4.8 sec) and tuned stats for C43 (3.9 sec) and came up with that 1 sec improvement, which is not realistic
Thanks,
