Def want to see a re-match when the car is broken in, it def helps get some power out of the motor. Most every car, NA or FI, gains power within the first 5K-10K over the first 2-3K.

I do not know why anybody would buy a 2010 e63 when the new motor is coming out next year in the E. Does anybody know what it will be named? Maybe E55 bi-turbo?

charcoal filter removals will lessen TQ on bottom end but u should be picking up more power in upper RPM range .

Why? I don't understand how charcoal filters impact torque/HP? Can you explain?
I understand that removing them may create better airflow, so why loss of low end TQ and yet gain in upper range?

Also wouldn't the ECU adjust the air mixture and any benefit gained with charcoal delete is negated by the ECU anyway?

DOES ANYONE REALLY KNOW OR IS EVERYONE SPECULATING? Any mechanics on the board or people who understand how this crap works?

After these runs I think its going to take more then a break in for it to beat my car. Its possible it might hold up a little better. It runs side by side with a stock c63 so don't see how much more faster its going to get. I'm actually hoping it does do better because I expected a little more from it.

I know man but I hate when I read about stories and then participants in a run both have a different say about what happened. I really wanted to get this on camera.

I know what you mean but I think every1 expected the 212 to better then it did. Hopefully it breaks in and maybe will open more but I don't see it making up all that ground I have over it.

If your getting more airflow, the ECU will adjust to add the correct amount of fuel to that air trim. It wont negate the difference as the tech told you.


The purpose of the C. filter is to help prevent type of emissions from the intake from what i did read once, and i think in euro models this might not even be included, as E60 M5's were.

It 100% will do better.... But def prob not enough to be able to beat you. Wait, shouldnt it be faster than a C63? it will def get faster, the engine is tight. Heck my exhaust gets louder after around 5K miles and i start getting better MPG, the engine loosens up starts making more HP.

Heyyy JON. My buddy oldgixer would like to run you with his w211 E63. The same 1 I raced in my video. Let me know if you wanna do it. He's stock and he don't think there is anyway you are going to beat him with the c63.

My dealer said they could care less if you have them in or not, so I just leave them out. Certainly can't hurt power...

I did some analysis, my runs with C63 shows neck to neck, given the 300-400lbs difference, W212 must put down more power to the wheels to stay even. So if an avg C63 puts down around 380-390 to the wheels, than the e63 has to put down around 410-420 to compensate for the weight difference.

The 63 also lost around 1.5 to 2 car lengths to the E55 (which as the owner claims dynos at around 411), but it is also 250lbs lighter than my E63.

So to stay even with E55 the E63 would have to put down around 430-440 to the wheels to compensate for the weight difference.

All in all, the results can be explained if the E63 produces around 410-420 to the wheels.

Now, that is around 100hp loss which more like ~20% drive-train loss compared to a typical 15-18% loss.

Thoughts? Am I off with this analysis?

Definetly makes sense. Your def putting down more power then a c63 because you guys are even.

What I'm interested about is this whole gearing issue. I've heard numerous times that a 7 speed does better up top. From my experience I have run multiple times with "up top" cars (c63/e63/21263/M5) and I do not believe that any of these cars do better up top then a 5 speed 55.

To me its a fact the 7 speeds are not any better then the 5 speed. I have proved it time and time again.

Very interesting indeed. There are so many variables, gearing, tranny, weight, ECU, etc
But for sure if we put down the same power and your E55 weighs 250lbs less than the outcome is expected.

Although M5 should be able to beat E55 up top, so I dont know how this works. Unless of course your E55 is not stock (hehe) or somehow puts down more power than stock.

Ahahah 411whp 456wtq on a dynojet stock. I deleted the cats so maybe another 3-5whp. Nothing more then that. I raced a modded 55 and it wasn't pretty for me . He's a member here loco.

Nice runs.

I would've thought the MCT transmission would have less drivetrain loss, not more. But definitely, the 6.2 needs more miles to get the full hp. Don't the AMG engineers wonder what's wrong when they dyno a new 6.2 and see less than the advertised horsepower?

From the video you posted of your runs with him, it looked like whenever oldgixer got the jump, he took the lead and stayed ahead throughout the run. The opposite was also true: whenever you got the jump, you took the lead and stayed ahead the entire way. This shows that the cars are even and that such race will ultimately be determined by the driver. Moreover, if the W212 E63 was equally powered, we would've seen a similar scenario, but instead, we saw the W212 E63 lose whether it got the jump or not. In my opinion, the W212 E63 was holding back some power and will eventually unleash a few more ponies after it has been fully broken in as was the case with early W211 E63s.

Slightly off topic: secondary cats are worth about 10 whp on E55 on dynojet. Don't know how much the mufflers are worth? Were they higher quality and more flowing than the AMG ones?

Dude u need to bring you car to Bruce to Dyno u car. Last tme u dynoed and got 411 it was a spike and you car downshifted from4th gear to 3rd. That's not a accurate Dyno u got.
Plus you should Dyno you car now after 2nd cat delete and mufflers I'm sure u gained 10-15 not 3-5. Plus you k&n's. Comon you not stock no more Time to start modding you cAr.

Is this beter em I gettn in u head now. Lmao

When we set up a rematch with the 212 I definetly wanna give it another go with w211 e63. The race where jumped out came quick and I wasn't in power band plus it was the shortest of the 3 runs. But they definetly are very close regardless. I feel that my car does have a slight advantage if we get the cars all the way up to 150 but those are krazy speeds neway. Bottom line w211 as of now is quicker then c63 and 212 63. Can't wait for the 212 to add some mileage.

The mufflers have not proven to add any hp to the car. The cats I don't kno how much they add but 10whp seems aot to me. That would make me 421whp on a dynojet if that was true. Anyone have any before and after with just 2nd cats deleted.

I have seen it add 8 to 10 whp on dynojet. The only way to know for sure is to dyno at the exact same place you dynoed your car before the secondary cat delete.

Strange but it does not compute with my experience. I had 08 e63 with charcoals delete only, and Jon's C63 was pulling slightly top end. My new 2010 E63 was about even. So, the new E63 was quicker than my 08 E63.

Don't know. Just seems like too many variations and conditions. Cars are so close that any change in either temp, weight or whatever can produce a win or a loss for either.

Keep in mind that 1.5 to 2 cars at 150mph is most likely less than 0.1 sec in time difference and maybe 2-3mph in speed.

To Mthis;

Not to mention I only lose 1.5 to ur tune/header 63. So if u claim I have 10-15hp more plus if I use 100 octane ill prob be kissing your bumper . Uh oh give it to me loll

How about this guys. I go out running every1 and no matter what I do I her ***** and excuses all the time. So this is what I say. We have me, jon - ( c63 ), oldgixer - ( w211 e63 ), albert - ( 212 63 ) all get together on a sat/sun am we all get every single car on the same dyno and go out for some friendly runs after that.

So there it is. I'm IN.....
