Question Hic-Up at around 1600-2000 rpm???

This Has Also been posted on the W202 forum: sorry to repeat:

I have been reading this board for a week now and finally registered this evening. Good stuff. It brought attention to a lot of things I didn't know exsisted in the benz world. Running sick 1/4's, serious mods, etc...

I currently own my first benz which I purchased last summer. It is a 99' C230 Kompressor Sport. The car is black on black including the windows. I love it to death. I look like a drug dealer. Anyways it came out of the garage a little while ago when the snow cleared up and I have decieded to try for a few extra hp/trq for the engine.

I have purchased a Kleeman pulley kit, K&N filter, and an upsolute chip to be installed in a few weeks. I installed the K&N filter today and plan on relocating the MAF sometime tomorrow afternoon.

Upon starting the car it seemed to idel a little nicer than before but thats the only thing I really noticed. I didn't expect much from the filter I just wanted a quality replacement. After a quick drive to the gym I found myself slightly reving the engine while in "park".

While doing this I notice a wierd sound around 1600-2000rpm. Its almost a "pppfffftt, click, hic-up" type of sound. Its very quick and doesn't seem to be noticed while driving or to even to effect the car while in drive. Also in park is the rev-limiter lowered. It seems to kick on around 4000rpm. Seems a little low, is that just because the car is in park and its free reving??

Any feedback would be much appreciated,

THANKS

The rev limiter in park or nuetral is only at 4000 rpm to protect the torque converter.
But you would almost have to have a audio clip for me to tell you anything about the hic-up.
