How much WHP can a '14+ 4matic take?

Hey guys, been wondering how the basic tune and downpipe E63 AMG S 4matic's have been holding up with the upgrraded power and tq.

Any MCT or 4matic issues? Diff or axles issues?

After reading and researching seems like the MCT trans is pretty solid and holds the power.

2014 E63S; AMS 100 octane ECU dyno tune; EDOK TCU tune; BB intakes; sprintbooster
And you are correct. To around 900whp it seems solid

Excellent, seems like the basic tune and downpipes ( decat) isnt a cause for concern for the drivetrain. From my reasearch, i couldnt find much issues with bolt on M157 motors and drivetrains, so that is great news!

The tq limiters definitely do their job at limiting power and saving hard parts...no matter what the dyno says.

I would imagine that is with bigger turbos and big boost..
A basic bolt on M157 (tune, cat delete) like most guys do, i would be surprised if it was bending anything on..
