I know you might have seen these before, but for you who havn't, have a look here >> http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=...LD&view=videos and hopefully you will enjoy watching these videos.
Mods are:

KLEEMANN Headers
Exhaust with 2 race cats
K&N green filters
And a Special ECU tune made here in Sweden for 99 Octane Shell V-power fule.

Next time I upload videos like these it might be with another set-up

Hey Magnus,

I noticed you have a 6300ish redline, How did you get it past 6000. Obviously you have engine software but did they reprogram the transmission as well? Normally the transmission won't let you past 6000 even if engine has higher redline. Just curious. Thanks

P.S. High quality on youtube is so much better now. Great vids!

Nice vids. Your car sound like how an W210 E55 should have from MB.

I never realized that those audi RS6 wagons are that fast.

Good job on beating the RS4. I would have bet against the E55 after seeing the RS6 win, and becasue the RS4 had 420hp. Similiar HP but I thought the RS4 weighed much less...apparently not and got

Keep up the good work on the vids man!!!

It's actually set on 6400 rpm But like you say, in D-drive it shifts at 6100 rpm and in this video I shift manually and try my best not to hit the rev limiter

Don't know if there is a way to reprogram the transmisson so it shifts at 6300-6400 rpm even in the D-drive mode

Here is a video of my car going 0-200 Km/h when it was bone stock. Quite a difference compared to now.
Ok,a bad start but 0-200 km/h in ~ 20 sec
And 100-200 Km/h in ~ 14 sek

Compared to 16,9 sec and 11,8 sec with my mods now

My E55 bone stock

Yes, but the RS6 was tuned to somewhere between 480-507 HP according to the owner. I think they have 450 HP stock and weighs a lot more, so I guess a stock RS6 shouldn't be a problem for my E55


Thanks for watching and the support

It was so close a pulley alone would have helped you beat him. That and you had a bad start and lost traction.

Very few people know how to retune the Transmission, its not easy and requires a lot of expertise in tuning. I know its been done on newer benzes but I do not know if anyone has ever figured it out on the older W210 transmissions. You may just have to live with it the way it is, although I like the the idea of being able to choose if you want stock or 6400 redline. Just leave it the way it is.
