I have been using this Indi shop I found and love them. They did my brake painting, -10C mod, and can do anything else you need in terms of mods and or maintenance.

They have a dynojet right near their shop too.

Info on the Dyno shop? I think it's time for some base line runs and I just might have time this week.

I'm in Western, NC but I wouldn't mind getting the 10 degree mod done and a few other STAR things, such as delimited, etc. I'll shoot you a PM.

Guys

The link to the shop is WWW.germanrepairauto.com

Ask for Jerry the service advisor or bill the owner. They can set you up with the star settings and book the dyno for you. Make sure you tell them I sent you from the MBWorld forums and they will take care of you.

I know this is probably a dumb question but what is the advantage of having the car run 10c cooler?

The engine suction fan turns on earlier or cooler in terms of temp, and keeps the engine runing cooler. Cooler engine, means happy engine = more HP

I did it on my last E55 and the stupid fans run non stop and sound like a frigging air conditioner everywhere I went. People were always like " whats wrong with your car"

Why change the fan to 70C if you still have an 80C thermostat?

Indi shop in Atlanta

I just sent you an email saying that I am also located in Atlanta when I came across your post for the star lowering. I was looking for a good shop that knows these cars and have not found one yet. I am very interested in the shop that you are talking about. If you could please send me the name and number of that shop that would be awesome. Thanks again
