Looks perfectly OK to me. Perhaps your tranny is slipping a bit....

Clocked it at about 5.8 - 6.0 which is right around the stock times, I was expecting better from the Eurocharged tune.
Looks like it was 59° so not hot, where are you located?
Is your car completely stock except for the Eurocharged tune?

NC. The road was super crappy (dusty and rocky) and my launch sucked, no other mods done. It was literally my first time trying it so I didn't expect greatness. I'll try it a lil later on some better tarmac, I couldn't even get a good spin out from the rocky terain.

I have a mount on my steering wheel that is pointed right at the speedometer so I can capture speeds hands free.
This has to be the safest way as I can maintain 2 hands on the wheel and complete focus on the road ahead.

This does make me believe the Eurocharged tune adds power.
I will post mine soon, as soon as it stops raining around here

I tried a couple more times. First one was nothing but wheel spin so I let out of it. Tried again at 0:25 without trying a full hard launch. I just sat still and slowly floored it. Not expecting much from a car with so many miles. Would love to find a 55 engine and a kleemann...

I saw the other day a video made by Mobil showing an E class MB with 1 million kms. After opening and checking the engine, it was clean and no wear. So that shows the M112's and M113's still have a lot of distance to run!

This puts an even bigger smile on my face. This whole time I've sorta operated under the assumption that within another 100k miles or so, I'd need a new engine due to wear and tear. Sounds like in the event I can't snag a 5.4l, I'll be fine keeping the original one.
