Yes then a tune is a big must then for you As for radar/laser. Pretty much best coverage is a Valentine one for detection and a Laser Interceptor for jamming. Just my .02. I dont feel a rear laser is necessary. Most LEO's sit and wait. If one is coming up from behind they generally pace you with their unit off anyways. Best defense is to be on the look out of a fast approaching car that suddenly seems to stay a few cars back. Again, just my .02. That being said, if your gonna spend the money for a complete set up it only costs a littlemore to make sure you have it all covered. Really personal preference. Now get that thing tuned and report back...

They will also save my current computer settings. It runs about 2k. My car has the p031. I have a limited slip. They advised me that the eventhough the car has limited slip, it only will reduce slip 40%. They have one that will reduce slip almost 100%. For a daily driver this is bad @$$ car for sure. Glad I bought it and not another brand. What kind of radar/laser do you recommend??
It will void the drivetrain portion of your warranty if MBUSA finds out about it even though your dealer appears to be willing to look the other way. However if you have a major warranty problem (like a blown engine or tranny) MBUSA will send a factory tech advisor out to confirm the problem and may ask for a read out of the ECU. The ECU has to be taken out to remap it (it cannot be externally flashed through the OBD2 port) and this will show up on an ECU read out even if you return to the stock mapping. Tracking your car (if you get caught some how) will void your warranty even if you don't do the ECU upgrade.

Ok. I'm here to report back. Most-Wanted recommended the ECU flash. I had it done today and this car is NO JOKE. I'm convinced its putting out over 500 horses now. It was fast when I bought it but after the ECU upgrade it is even faster. Thanks for the advice!!

How can tracking the car void the warranty? It comes with a lap timer in the AMG setting lol.

I guarantee if there are any drivetrain or ECU issue's, a tune would void the warranty. The service advisor can say whatever he/she wants. The fact any major item like a transmission (which several people with high HP C63's have had issue's) and MBUSA is going to say too bad.
