Not sure what you are coming from in terms of HP, but I would suggest enjoying that 518 stock HP at least until your factory warranty is up.

You have lots of time before needing a tune.

But you can gain a crap load of HP and torque with a RennTech ECU for only about $2,500. I think up to 660 Hp if memory is correct.

But enjoy the new beast for now man.

And post pics!!

Welcome and congrats.

Since you're in California and run 91 octane (I presume) I recommend a box tune from Jeremy @ OE TUNING. It provides ridiculous gains for $1,595. You'll have to ship him your ECU

You don't even have to run colder plugs

Congrats. What color combo did you get?

FYI. If you do decide to get a tune, I would start with the ECU, the cat or catless exhaust tune will make your AMG sound like a Lambo, but the cat tune is a 10HP gain and the cost factor is almost the same with the ECU tune.

Good luck and have fun with your AMG.

Are you losing to Ford and Chevys stock without P30? You got more power and little more weight.
