2022 E53 AMG Tune Suggestions?

I am sure there are a ton of these threads but thought I would ask anyway. Looking to get a little more HP/TQ. Would love to get it closer to the high 400’s for both but don’t want to stress the engine too much and don’t want to have to worry about having to upgrade other components either. With those of you who do have suggestions let me know if any will result in loss of extended warranties. I am sure there will be but still want to know. Thanks all!


Also is Carly worth it at all to unlock features that are blocked for US cars? Similar to bmwcode for bimmers? Thanks!

You have a few years yet, but when it gets old enough you will have to have it smog checked. CARB will detect a tune and will fail it. If you trade it in to a dealer they may check and if they do they'll likely refuse the trade. Just be aware.

Fleriduh has lax smog rules and hurricanes. Callyforney has strict smog rules and earthquakes. But Tom Petty's music is great no matter where.

I think (for me) the storm was a let down. It was BARELY a Cat3. Obviously I need to spend more time in a V8 car doing my part to alter the weather.....

Funny listening to the news talk about "If there were a game, and IF there was 30,000 people in the stadium......". We are resilient, and unlike my former city (Chicago), here, we can SHOOT looters and those who cause public unrest.
