I wouldn't recommend it.
Besides, what's wrong with 300hp?
Engine replacements? I know of maybe 2 and neither was because of a tune. Turbos, clutches, fuel pumps...that's another story.

I agree 100% - there is A LOT LOT LOT more turbo lag.

The car now drives like my old RX7....stomp, wait 2 sec, then the power comes. I notice a huge difference with 29.2. BMW has really screwed the performance

Yup, i love my vert . Your c63 must be a beast. Amg cars got tons of torque. My bro has a slk55 and its fun as hell to drive. He is selling his though for another AMG.
