Default Re: Mercedes Air Box W/CAI

Update! Installed the injectors and the MB airbox and tubes on Christmas Eve. I went to Jacksonville on Christmas, 182 miles. I enjoyed 28.7 miles/gal during this trip. I nailed it at lest a dozen times, sometimes through 2 or 3 gears, I was trying to get the ECU programed to the car. Also, 25 to 30 miles were in town driving. Jerry at LET is excellent to work with and very knowledgeable to answer any questions you may have about your tune. I drove the car for 5 days, with the tune only and K&N filters, prior to installing the injectors and MB air box. I could definitly fell the differenece in response and pull, however it took at least 3 days for the ECU to perform to the fullest, perhaps 20 HP gain with just the ECU. This is the reason I have not posted results until now. TVT265 is definitly at least a 50 HP gain or .5 seconds minimum. I live in Florida and it has been 80 degrees + for the last week or so, it only drops into the high 50s at night. I have been waiting for the 40s to help program the ECU for a good cold charge, nothing like it to produce HP. I have been racing since 1964 and I can tell you this now feels like a high 13 second ride. I am very satisfied and recommend the MOD, I believe it inhances the value of the car. I am still waiting to receive my 180 thermostat, it must have been backordered. It should cool things down somewhat, cooler charge more HP. I will need to lower the fan temp after I install the thermostat.
