550 Series V8 (CL,CLS,E,GL,ML,S,SL) – Calibration
With its stout design, the Mercedes Benz 4.6L V8 Biturbo engine provides excellent luxury class power for the 2011+ Mercedes-Benz lineup. The stock output of the M278 engine is rated at 402 horsepower and 443 torque or slightly more, but these engines are quite underrated from the factory.

Mind numbing torque at your command
What’s even more impressive when having an Alpha file installed on your 550 Series Mercedes-Benz is the monstrous torque that you will have on command. Through our non-invasive update to the powertrain control module (PCM), your AMG will produce 660 ft-lbs of torque! To put this in perspective, that’s a 98 ft-lb gain! More importantly, power is dramatically increased throughout the engine’s entire rpm range. Our Alpha file will provide you with power that you can feel no matter what rpm you decide to punch the throttle.

Not your typical generic tuning solution
Most tunes available are generic, re-branded, “solutions” that come from one of a few sources. Typically these tunes are developed more by software engineers than seasoned race engine specialists. As an enthusiast why would you settle for the same run of the mill results?
