Looks like you have all the basics covered, the next step would be something like Pure turbos and piggybacking the tune....

I also agree on removing the wrap, basically make it a little more unsuspecting, but everyone who knows cars will still know what it is. Thats what I love about mine, it takes a longer glance to notice it's an M, and then the jaws drop, or in the case of Hellcats, throttles drop.

Basically, running a flash tune of the ecu, and then a JB4 along with it, allows higher overall boost etc.

From what I have seen, the JB4 isn't supported for our rigs any longer, but there might still be options out there that will work, just more possible risk.

Ahhh, I got you. I figured you were talking about BEFs (back end flashes) but I wasn't sure.

F10 guys don't seem to have a lot of issues with stacking tunes - aside from the DCT slipping under the massive TQ - but I don't know how the S63 would hold up as the S63tu seems to be more reliable overall.
