I Can Be Silent No Longer....2.82 Gears Are In!!!
First thanks to Rudyrono for keeping quiet on the mods. I was hoping for a big unveiling at Sacto or Phoenix, but my wife's health problems have reared up again and everything goes on hold for now. Trying for next weekend in Phoenix, but it looks shaky.
It was wild, you guys all were talking about this (BenzGal and Steve) while I was having this installed.
Thanks as well to MB of Lindon, the craziest, most mod friendly dealer in the US. You guys are just the BEST!!!!
I gotta run right now and tend to the family but lemme tell you guys...IT FRIGGIN ROCKS!!
Full write up coming soon.
Quicky answers, yes it is a bit harder to launch but nothing that can't be overcome with technique. Yes, it was expensive....total approached 6-7K range as I needed new half shafts for my older model W211.
It's in...it rocks.....life is GOOD!!!

Hey man, family comes before anything. Hope your wife gets better soon.
2.82s sound nice. Throw some stickies on there and watch the numbers on your 60' plunge.

E55 (for sale if the right offer comes along)...too many others to list
Sorry to hear about the wife! I hope she gets better.
I am ordering my gears and cams next week. You will have to elaborate on the launching issue when you have time. Take care of you and your family buddy.
Where is the dealership located that did the install?

Glad that you have your priorities in the right place. Take good care of her and we all will keep her in our prayers. Good luck when you do make it to the track.

Jakpro, my wife just went thru a very serious operation.
I found that good friends and their prayers are always a big help for both of you.
I wish her & you the best...

So sorry to hear about your wife's health problems, I really hope all turns out well.
As for your E55, were any ECU changes necessary? I imagine your speedo may be off.

Jim,
Hope all is well with your family.
If you're going to Phoenix through Vegas, make sure you let me know. I'm sure Josh and I would love to hook up and see how your beast runs.
