Calling MBAutowerks

Donnie,

Have you been able to run 211 E55's on the dyno? We have been having "issues" with the ESP system on a number of occasions. I know a couple of people that have been able to get pulls down with SL55's but not the E55's.

Thoughts on this? If you can make the changes required via laptop, I would be happy to have you down to South Atlanta for the day for some tuning.....

I have run a couple with NO problems. Stock they put down about 450ft-lb of torque to the wheels.

With mods, just over 500 at the wheels.

I use a DynoJet and strap it down well. Then turn off the car until it is time to dyno the car. Start the car and put it in manual mode and turn off esp. Shift to 4th gear and let it rip.

Donnie,

That is exactly what we tried. We have a dynojet now down in Peachtree City at Allspeed. In manual mode with ESP off the rear brakes came on real hard. You could see and smell them clamp down. I am a bit bewildered.

I'll have to come and see what is up.
