Better gas mileages and sacarfied lean running condition. I rather spend my money on a Sprint booster with better throttle responsive and have a safer stock air fuel ratio. Your car probably is running with an air fuel ratio some where in the 14.0:1 right now VS stock 12.5:1 ratio. You probably don't even know what is that mean any way. I hope you enjoy rebuild your engine sooner then expected.

all the tune does is it chnages the timing for 93 octage gasoline, from the detuned 91 octane. in Uerope they run 95-100 octane.

Klinh

Not "all" true in the US. Most of us in the US can't get 93 octane gas and if your tuned is tuned to 93 octane gas, you car would run right if you put 91 octane. Try putting 87 octane gas on stock car and you get checking engine light, lost of power and you won't be able to drive faster then 75 mph.

Yeah, you don't ask MILFs to race... you ask them to do a lot of other thing though I had one start talking to me this morning in the parking garage, she was driving an ML from the same dealership, we both had paper tags on, and she was very friendly.

I like how you ignored my post calling you a douche and are trying to focus negative attention on me with a topic that you think I know nothing about. I have a sprint booster and I'm positive it does nothing to the air/fuel ratio. Nobody asked where you would rather spend your money. I know a couple CLK's that have had the speedtuning tune for a couple years now and they are pushing 120k miles with no engine rebuild. Just because the almighty Klinh doesn't have something installed in his car doesn't mean it's worthless.


If you're tuned for 93, why would you put anything less. MB recommends 93. You are just trying to sound smart and making a redundant statement.

i got 93-100 octane by my house so i believe i am safe with my tune.

I can run down the street to the airport, and put 110LL in I've done that before on E39, and got great gas mileage. I really don't know the science behind it, but since the airport near me sells 100LL for about the same price as going to Shell and getting 93, and allows cars to drive on the tarmac... Let's just say every once in a while my baby deserves it.

dynomite05

+1, The station by the bridge has 100....I have never put anything less than 93


That is sweet!

mskembo

If you have a municipal airport near you go into the FBO, or flight school, and ask if they can call the gas truck for you. Most airports have the friendliest people in the world working there, it's one of my favorite things about flying.

This is the first time I hear of this. I don't think you have visited airports in the NE. "Friendly" would not be the word I would choose to describe the people over here.

mskembo

Is anyone friendly in the NE? I remember my first time in Boston, we were in the hotel van leaving the airport when a car cut the van off. The van driver (who looked like Micheal Clark Duncan) grabbed a golf ball from a box on the dash, and threw it at the other car HARD! it as probably 30 yards away, and we heard the glass crack from inside the van

Anyway, here in the South, and in the middle part of the country, airport people are pretty awesome.

lol, I believe you. I have been witness to a few "change throwing" road rages. I have to get out of Jersey more often...lol

Klinh

I ignored because I don't want to get into name calling. And pick the other topic because I feel you need schooling at it. Btw, Mercedes recommended 91 in the US and 93 in some European country. So what happen when you take road trip to other states and you can't find gas stations that carry 93 octane? I liver in California and have to drive at least 75 miles to get 93 octane gas when I go to the track.

dynomite05

lol...Schooling...so now you feel like explaining......Here MB recommends super which is 93 everywhere you go. You use it for the track and I for daily driving. I wouldn't take a road trip in my CLK, I have a truck for that.

badblackbenz550

**** we use 105-110 for track here...

sleepyheadzzz

WAIT those 2 things aren't actually cats???? i was afraid to move them because i thought removing them would make me fail a smog check!!! they are hollow???

i only removed my resonator and it didn't make any difference...if these are indeed just hollow...imma remove them this week!!

ARGHHH shoulda removed them all

oh yeah and +1 on dynomite's posts LOL

badblackbenz550

yea dude they are just extra resonators.

dynomite05

What it a difference it makes!

Does the Cats = Resonator rule also apply to the 5.0 M113 V8?

As far as Dynomite Vs. Klinh......

you guys ..let it go man

It's cool, he's not going to post again for a few months anyway.

my 0-60 with a crappy launch.

it's funny how original video was 4secs, and after 10 hours it increased by 2 seconds on youtube...

There is no way that the tune has cars running 14:1 under load, if so everyone would be heating up and detonating like MF'ers. If you didn't mean 14:1 under load and more or less at highway cruising (virtually no load) then there is no problem with that.

Most chip/tune manufacturers like to dial in at the 13:1 a/f ratio, it's an increase over a stock setup, better milage and still very safe if the user has to run 89 octane.

Klinh

I said "probably" and there's NO way any one would know until they dyno the car. All tuners know what ideal air fuel ratio should be at for na engine (no more then 13.5:1 a/f ratio at WOT) and sc/turbo engine (no more then 12.0:1 a/f ratio at WOT). Since is a mail order tunes, it pretty much a stock tunes based on a stock car. Since most people car are not stock with mods like AMG air box, secondary CAT deleted...etc, they can kiss that a/f ratio ideally good bye. Because of people have different mods in their car, you can't apply the same files from one car to the next. The only way to be sure is to dyno the car and i'm surprised that NOT a single person here with the ECU upgrade dyno their car yet !!!
