New 6.3 Tuning potential?
How much do you think tuners will make out of new 6.3 engine?
I heard 580hp with race exhaust?
Anyone can confirm?

i say 550 with the basic bolt on's intake,exhaust,software 93 oc.Add some headers and track pipes for 580-600hp tops without really getting expensive with internal work.

I am quite sure that our friends at Kleemann will have some major upgrades in store. Im hoping ECU, intake, exhaust, and possibly some internals are possible to extract the most power from the new V8. Of course the tramisssion will have to be beefed up.

Yup, the pretty much sums it up...the 7 speed we are about to get will not tolerate much more than 510hp. Klee says they (AMG) are working on a 7speed with ball$, but it's coming in the future.

I don't think that the Supercharged M113K engine we have is the greatest V8 motor Mercedes has made. There is a twin-turbocharged version that will be sure to come wit the W212 in the near future so stay tuned as great things are to come from AMG.
