Hey how's it going everyone? My name is DK Goodrich. I'm a dyno tuner based out of central KY


Just got this e550, first Mercedes, really enjoying it so far.


Since these pictures, I've lowered it with the links and muffler deleted it so far. Going to do some larger factory wheels, and just take care of it.


Any suggestions and comments are greatly appreciated


Thank you for your time

Thanks guys, I appreciate it!

So far it seems like a really great car! I've really been enjoying it. I just hope it's more reliable than my v8 BMW lol

Suspension on this one needs releveled and sometimes on first start, ac doesn't work until you give it a decent amount of throttle then it works the rest of the day. Weird

Thanks everyone for their time

Thank you! No problem man. I don't offer any tuning services for German cars but I totally understand where you are coming from.

I will offer black boost intakes have seen very good results up top and very good feed back from data loggers and dynos. And look great. This dyno was from my personal car and I'm very impressed with how much it helped up top. And dta logs are reporting a 20sh drop in wastegate duty cycle drops which means turbos are not working as hard.
