E500 Sport's speed limiter

I searched the forum and couldn't find any definitive information on what my 03 Sport E500's speed limiter was set-on. I'll go thru the manual tomorrow hoping to find something there. Or maybe, someone here in the masses may know?

I wanna say 137mph? Or something close to that. Mine, of course, was removed with my ECU tune.

I had my ECU tuned and requested to remove the limiter. After the tune there's definitely more response and pep. The other day I had some open road and stood-on-it. It ran strong up to 140 then I had to back-off because I was catching traffic. At the same time it felt like it flattened-out. So, if the limiter was set below this. It had to have been removed. Thanks,

its 135, for sure I know from multiple expierinces from cursing MB on why they would curse US with this disease considering the 545,645 and 745 go to 160 w/o mods of any sort?

e500 run to fuel cutoff..

135, ahh, mine has been removed.
Now I must find out how far it's going to pull.

Abb, did yours stop pulling at 160. Or did you back-out?

I paid 500 for SuperChip from Eurotech.. hp/tq gains range from 15-20 HP/17-29lbs TQ
but it ranges from 500-1200
I know of 4 legit companies.. in Price low to high
Superchips - 500
Speed Innovations - 600
PowerChip - 6-800 (depending on specials and negotiating)
Renntech - 1100
hope this helps..
