New dyno tune and new power numbers!
We had our local tune and dyno meet - Jerry from Eurocharged came to the Bay Area for a few days to tune about a dozen cars. Always knowledgeable and very professional - excellent customer service!
My car put down some great power numbers - my goal was at least 469HP (at the wheels). Why? Because the factory rates these cars at 469HP at the crank - which means they make 390-420 factory.
It was mid-afternoon and ~87F but the car made 481rwhp and 519rwtq

This was with the 83mm S/C pulley, and Kleemann mid-length headers - plus the tune. About 80 more rwhp from stock - VERY noticeable!!
Overall - really happy with the results! Of course, everyone says I need to go for 500rwhp now (LOL)

Kleemann headers - gotta love the sound, such unexpected noise on the Merc :)
Don't worry, it's all sealed up now but I had to capture the raw sound...
and now for something yummy...

One thing that all this torque necessitates - new motor mounts, and E55 Kleeman Headers!
It's time to get my motor and transmission mounts replaced - the car has about 77k miles and over time the engine mounts start to lose their 'oomph' when you have over 500 ft-lbs of force from that engine.
Obviously if you go through the MB dealer be prepared to spend some serious $$$, I was quoted $1,400 just for the two engine mounts alone!!! But - I found 2 new engine mounts and a new transmission mount for $120 shipped on Amazon!
Also, while we're at it - going to add some more fun since you need to do the mounts to get to these anyways...

Yup, just when I thought I was finished - Kleeman mid-length headers...
can you say 30 more HP to the wheels? (just what it needs) LOL
