AMG 65 tuning

What have you guys done to your 65 engines and what gains did you see? The only things I have read about so far is the Renntech ECU/Tcu. Anything else?

Seems like everything you do to them is impressive.

Renntech Airbox seems like nice gains as well...now not like ECU of course but still....

What is the airbox supposed to add in HP? I saw a couple people ordered them but haven't heard the results. I thought I read they were 5k, is this correct?

haters crazy
They were talking about the airbox on the AMG SL forum. It provided a nice gain and if I remember correctly it was like $6k! You should've came to MIR today. It was imports vs. domestics and a S65 ran a 12.2 and beat a viper! Imports dominated the event and the fastest car was a 7.52 Lucas Oil Supra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like they got spanked! I guess no Z06 showed up!(even though they can't hook up!) I am sure I will see you guys soon and by that time I hope to be in the low 11's!
