Race Chip Sprint Booster
I've just installed the Race Chip Sprint Booster and pleased with the result.
I wanted the ECU OBD chip but it wasn't available for my car so settled for the booster.
Install is easy and only takes 30 mins. I mounted the control box up inside the car panel so nothing can be seen. The control dial I've mounted next to the light switch.
There's 7 settings, economic for slow acceleration, good in snow, normal, sports and race modes. The wheels spin in race mode.

I have a Sprint Booster on mine. It basically just remaps the accelerator pedal, but I do find that it eliminates some throttle lag. It's no substitute for more HP, though.

I am thinking of getting the ECU mapped, it would give me 11% more torque, the only concern I have is that I have the AMG speed shift gearbox which I believe the ECU is set up together and worried it may muck things up!

I remember you from W208.
You're going in the right direction.
You can use SB with pretty much all ECU tunes. Possibility of over sensitizing the low speed DBW throttle tip in with High setting on SB, but should be doable
Think about exhaust. A balance of intake and exhaust improvements in order to work best management of fuel and timing
We don't get a V6 for NA but I'm sure there's a tuner or shop in the EU that will help
Good Luck
