Thanks. It is an E63 S. It is certainly really fast for a tune only car but there are cars with the same engine that are faster.

Two friends of mine have Weistec turbo upgrade CLS 63s with catless DP, upgraded intercoolers and ice trunk tanks. B

Obviously my car is not as fast as they are. But my car did beat a custom tuned E63 S with catless down pipes at Slipstream even though I'm running stock cats and stock downpipes.

Was that custom tuned E63 S with catless down pipes using Renntech tune and their downpipes?

His tune was not renntech. It was custom. I'm not sure which downpipe he was using

Call Mark S at Renntech, after talking to him for 5 mins not only will you feel comfortable you will be ordering a tune.

All of the tunes for these cars are around the same price give or take a few hundred dollars, go with Renntech.

Correct. Mark Squadrito at Renntech is the guy to call. Eurocharged is a good bit cheaper but makes less power but the tunes from Renntech, Weistec and AMS are within $500 of either other. All produce tons of extra power. I went with Renntech as it has been tuning AMGs far longer than its competitors and has much closer relations with AMG than its competitors -- the owner was an AMG engineer in Affalterbach for many years. My Renntech tune has been absolutely perfect with no issues at all.

Yeah, I made up my mind a few days ago that I'll be going with Renntech. Thanks to the OP for starting this thread & to those that contributed.

I went with Renntech and would not look back. When I'm ready to trade in for the 2017 E63, I'll be doing the Renntech ECU tune and the turbo upgrades.
