True you can get good quality air and runs at Sac,but its still somewhat inland and doesnt get the great air as most of the tracks back east do.Its the best we have out here,unfortunately its a 5 hour(1 way) drive for me to run there.East coast tracks get alot more of the cool ocean air,combined with great elevations,you cant go wrong there.
I caught YOU!!!! WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO a miracle

but yes it does get cool air when its cool, but you wouldnt want to race there now, even in October it will still be in the 70's

Back on topic.
Show me a dyno before and after, i dont care what tuner, of a CLS 63 E 63, CL 63, S63 that gained the advertised HP and torque after an ECU tune. I will even take it further. All tuned 63's join me in Sacramento for a tuners challenge in November. Stock 63 vs Tuned 63s? That should settle who does the proper tune and who should get the biz. Maybe powerchip vs evotech vs. whomever. This would be the only way to settle what products work and what is simply money down the drain.
Anyone want to step up and organize a meet?

Don't forget about Carlsbad near San Diego it used to be 90' above sea level. I don't know if it's still there it's been years since i ran there. But it used to be to test at after Terminal Island was Closed down.

I have been enjoying my E63 and have added some nice toys to it and am now considering performance options. The first of which is the Wetterauer chip mod. I am interested to learn if anyone has done this and what the results were. I also would like to find out how this may effect the warranty.
Thanks

back to OG topic.
I would invest on some headers first or play around with the exhaust before you get into the ECU.
507hp is enough... just need to get those TQ is up a bit more.

West Coast cars run in worse air and tracks. Talk to Jackson he has been on both Coasts running his S4. My ECU is stock aside from being delimited by AMG. I sold my sprint Booster which also simply improved throttle, it added no hp and did not produce better times. My best 1/4 mile runs are in stock form. Look at the data the West coast 55's cannot do better than 12.4 yet in the East they can run sub 12? Cars do better in the East.
Plus the fastest times are in the EAST for the 63 despite the supposed failed tunes.

All joking aside, I understand you not trying to harm a tuner by posting about it. Its just strange since you are on MBWorld 24/7 and post about everything, yet you never mentioned getting your ECU flashed.
Good luck trying to get some nice low 12's in Juice
. You have some amazing 60ft times, I'm sure if theres one guy who will get record breaking times it'll be you.There has to be an ECU program out there that will give you SOME gain, not a loss in power. Try RennTech/Evotech.
