2014 E550 4matic,, sold 2012 E 350 4matic,,sold 2010 e350 4w,sold 2002 e320 se
Staten Island,,but I travel the Newark Bay ext.thru Jersy City daily,,we get jaunts of 100+,,but you cant sustain it because of many slow movers.This chip acts like a kick in the pants over 60,,I think thats the biggest difference from the stock ECU.That,and the mileage increase,,the chip will pay for itself.

just my 2 cents...

Dynos are NOT hard to find...do we need to find one for you?

E430 4matic
Hi Mike,
I just bought an '01 E430 4matic w/ 46k and was curious about your mpg. I am currently seeing 17/20mpg and am considering a power chip. I was curious to see if anyone could tell me what to expect in a 4matic. Do you have a K&N filter kit as well?
Thanks,
Greg
