Point being.....the thread you quoted.....Derek said nobody could exceed 5000 rpm with the fuses pulled period. Whether you were on a dyno or on the road driving, he claimed it was "impossible". I proved you can. The car was in gear and accelerating past 5000 rpm right up to redline. Once again....if you're going to quote.....make sure you know what you're quoting. Read the rest of that particular thread. Where SPECIFICALLY did I say you could turn over 5000 on a dyno?
BTW....If you have access to the Mercedes star software....you can disable the electronic "nannies" to do a proper dyno run.
As for pulling the fuses doing little to nothing........I can spin the tires a HELL of a lot longer and further with the fuses pulled. If I just push the button on the dash, I'm lucky to get 10 feet. This link is a video of me smoking the tires the length of a dodge dealership.
