How much power does the Competition Package for X290 GT63 add?

VF Engineering quotes 670 hp from its Competition Package for X290 Mercedes-AMG GT63 and GT63 S models, a gain of 93 hp over the factory 577 hp of the GT63. The GT63 S starts from a higher factory rating, so its gain is smaller.

Why is no torque figure listed?

VF Engineering publishes a stock torque figure for this car that does not match the factory rating of the GT63 or GT63 S. Bulletproof Automotive prints only the horsepower figure, which starts from the correct factory baseline, rather than a torque gain measured against the wrong number.

How does it compare with the Performance ECU Software?

VF rates its Performance ECU Software for the four door GT63 at 650 hp, priced at $1,695. The Competition Package reaches 670 hp for $1,895, and VF Engineering describes it as a calibration written for track use rather than daily driving.

How is the calibration loaded?

VF Engineering supplies the GT63 file as end user programmable software, loaded by the owner through the OBDII port with no professional installation needed. The factory calibration can be restored at any time, before a sale or a visit to a Mercedes-AMG dealer.

Does it fit the two door AMG GT?

No. The four door GT63 and GT63 S use a different version of the 4.0 liter V8 and a different platform from the two door AMG GT coupe and roadster. VF Engineering writes separate calibrations for the two door cars, each sold as its own listing.

Description

VF Engineering Competition Package for X290 Mercedes-AMG GT63 and GT63 S

VF Engineering’s Competition Package for X290 Mercedes-AMG GT63 and GT63 S is the stronger of VF’s two files for the four-door AMG GT, a car that borrows the two-door’s name but rides on a platform shared with the E-Class and seats four. Its hand-built 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 is rated at 577 hp in the GT63, and VF quotes 670 hp with the Competition calibration, a gain of 93 hp and 20 hp beyond its Performance software. The GT63 S leaves the factory with more. VF writes the Competition file for track use, which in a 4MATIC+ sedan this size means circuit days rather than the commute. It suits an owner who already uses the GT63 hard and wants the most VF offers without new hardware.

About VF Engineering

VF Engineering designs supercharger and turbocharger systems, titanium exhausts and ECU and TCU calibrations from a 15,000 sq ft facility in Anaheim, Orange County, California, where it has been based for nearly two decades. Every calibration is developed in house on the company’s own Mustang AWD 500 chassis dyno, ECU boards are handled in a dedicated clean room, and new parts start in an R&D room equipped with a rapid prototyper. VF reports that more than 93 percent of its supercharger systems are still running after years of hard use, many on their second or third owner, and its engineers carry the testing discipline of the Lamborghini Super Trofeo series into every road calibration.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
