Thumbs up SI ECU Tuned!
i did not plan this early but since i'll be driving my ML to vegas next week, i decided to get my car tuned in advance. finally got SI ECU tuned after work today...

the verdict - wow! it feels like driving a large sedan... when punching it, the car shifts at higher rpm and just goes.... if cruising, u can't really tell much... but when u punch or go uphill, that's when u really notice the gain... i know i'll be passing cars on the uphills of I-15....

i didn't even bother doing before & after dynos since i know the gains will be there from my last experience with my W203...

expected gains are 16hp 20lb-ft. not bad for $600 mod! if u r in socal and drive ML350, u r welcome to test drive mine to see the difference...

special thanks to Speed Innovation and K1 Motorsport

BRABUS flat hood badge installed
FYI - u can pull stock ones straight out after loosening it with dental floss...
bought it on eBay... the metal base would not fit on the hood right...
just put the badge and flushes in nicely...
