Best tune for 2014 S63 to improve launch?

Looking for a tune for my S63 that eliminates the power delay coming off the line. Which one does it best?

Highly recommend EC, one of the best tuners in the M157 platform.

Is EC Eurocharged?

Yes it is Eurocharged. Great pricing, reputation, customer service and it’s warranty. Can’t go wrong here. Love their tune.

I was able to improve mine a bit with fueling/boost in the ecu calibration but I think you would need someone to remove/decrease the torque limiters in the tcm in order to achieve a really aggressive launch.

So the power lag off the line is a function of the TCM not the ECU tune?

Yes, and the TCU is located inside the transmission so you have to drop it to even get to it. The most disappointing thing about my 63 is how big of a turd it is from 0-60ft.

Great info, thanks. Looks like this should do the trick. Anyone have this mod?

I admittedly don’t have the mod and likely shouldn’t comment, but I’ve been told by reliable sources that although it “helps” the issue, its far from a “fix”- especially considering the cost. But, if you search you can likely find some guys that have done it and can speak first hand. 👍.
