Great time thanks to everyone that made it possible. Can't believe the power levels though.

I hope it makes people respect the power made there.

A lot of nice cars still alive out there it was nice to see them. EVO X is uber comfy.

Whats the next event? when?

I had a lot of fun out there, even if I didn't get up there until really late. Nice to see some old faces I haven't seen in a long while

I made it out for a little bit, and finally introduced myself to a few people. Had a busy day, so had to head out earlier than expected, but still had fun!! (and got a little sunburned haha). Thanks for setting everything up guys.

Yeah good to meet you. So are there an pics posted up anywhere? I know Shawn and Spaz had some nice looking cameras out.

Yay! I had the lowest numbers of the day. Time to get rid of stock stuff and make some more power. Thanks to everyone who made this day happen. I love this group! We know how to have fun. Special thanks to Scheides for letting my dad dyno his GTO, I'm sure it made him feel all nostalgic.

Big thanks to Goodheart for taking my car there. Didn't make the power is should have, but now I know something is off and there is more performance on the table in stock form before doing anything.

Should be 60-70whp and over 100 torque in it when the issues are figured out.

craig · 05-17-2010

^^I was more than surprised when I saw those low numbers for that thing.

Mercedes are weird. I have no idea what it should have made. I wouldn't want to try to diagnose it or work on it. I have had guys in to baseline their Mercedes and then get a mods and a flash tune and actually be down on power from the baseline, but they weren't forced induction cars.

Should have been some where in the 410-420whp range and somewhere around 480tq. The car runs well and was looked over for its 50k maintenance plan (Sears Import) last week so I don't have a clue where to look at this time.

Didn't buy it to be a track car, (and it will likely never see the track) so I am not in a huge hurry to figure it out. Still drives well and pulls decent in this form though.

Swifty, I will try to read up on that a little bit. Never heard of that before but I would think the limp mode feature would pull more performance from it. Still drives well on the road.

Some mercedes from the factory had issues with the wiring on the pump for the coolant to the intercooler for the sc. The polarities where reversed, and then the car went into "limp mode". The dealership would fix the wiring, scan/fix the car, and boom..insta 100 hp. Perhaps this is your issue?

FattyBoomBatty · 05-17-2010

The Germans never figured out wiring. I don't know how, but they always screw it up.
