I have 2008 C63 which I bought May of 2008. I was one of the first few to own C63 in Canada. For the first 2 and a half years I had it stock and was quite satisfied with the power but as time went on the urge to see the true potential of this car over came me and I got the tune.
I went through the same dilemma as you on what tune to get, but I settled with Renntech basically because their very reputable company with a quality product. That being said the Renntech tune is one of the more expensive tunes. However now that I have been driving it for a few days it was worth it. The car pulls so hard its ridiculous. C mode now with the tune feels like S mode stock and S mode tuned.......out of this world!
I specifically asked for a 93 octane tune which renntech informed me was generally what they do with their tunes. We have 94 octane gas up here in Calgary Canada at our Husky stations so I believe it helps. Renntech claims 517hp and 485Ft/lbs from crank on their website but I think this is conservative. I hope can find a dyno and see what power Im truly putting down. Any way its worth it whatever tune you get but for me Renntech was the best choice because it gave me peace of mind that they do great job and my engine wont blow up.
