Hello Everyone! Happy New Years!

I have a 2011 E350 Coupe which i have done several cosmetic mods to so the car looks pretty sweet and fast. however the problem is its not as fast as it looks

So the million dollar question is: Is it worth Tuning a E 350 (V6 Engine)? and if so what can i do to get the most HP return on investment?

all suggestions are welcomed!

Also i purchased the car this past Nov and the car is a CPO with 40k miles on it...

I have tuned mine,now i have 315 hp and 450Nm plus the SPRINT BOOSTER installed.It does make a difference.You should try it.

Ok and what did you do? like what mods?

I too am intersted. Just bought a 2011 E350 Coupe with 17,000 miles.
Traded in a C63AMG. Although I like the E350 better, I'd still like a little more grunt.

Simply bought and installed the SPRINT BOOSTER and the soft modified by SKN gave me the 315hp and the 450Nm.

NCBob

Ordered the Sprint Booster today. Hope it works out.
Heard good things about it.
Stay tuned for a report

I did a ECU tune with Eurocharged (talk to Jerry). I got similar results like garvocool, maybe more but talk to Jerry@Eurocharged to be sure. I installed Sprint Booster too. Great product.

Soooo you guys know that Sprint Booster does not increase HP or make your car any faster right? It simply changes part throttle response.

gavrocool

We know,but it gives you a nice sensation.

NCBob

I'm aware of that. I've owned many high performance cars over the years and the E350 has what we refer to as a "dead pedal". Poor response. Time lag. When I need to quickly change lanes in traffic, I want to do it immediately, not next week.
Even my C63 was disappointing.

I too installed Sprint Booster recently and it really works !
The green button is just how it should be from factory
The throttle response is just right , not too slow , not too fast so i keep it by default now
try it , the only issue is the limited space under the pedal , i spent a good time on installation

Interesting. Do you have the same complaint even in 'Sport' mode? My 2013 E350 RWD sedan had great response in 'Sport' mode. But my 2014 E350 4Matic sedan is not as good. Part of it is less acceleration due to 4Matic and part due to transmission tuning that is not as good as in the 2013 - the 2014 does not kick down soon enough. Granted these are sedans. I will be in a 2014 E350 Cabriolet in a few months and am interested to see how it is. I have ZERO complaints on our 2013 E550 Cab. In 'Sport' mode the car has excellent response and of course it goes like a bat out of hell.

NCBob

My issue as well. Had to perform some surgery on the carpeting under and behind the pedal assembly. The additional length of the SB was keeping the pedal from seating properly. With the pedal in place, the cut carpeting is well hidden.

saw it on kleeman website , they offer e350 cgi m272 engine up to 335 horse power and 450 nm , but i am wondering, would kleeman tune would make e350 much faster that stock ? anyone done it before?
