Get a performance valve boy, it will shift faster and slam you on shifts from whatever it is they do. Paramount Performance does them for the SRT-8 vehicles which have same 722.6 transmissions as us with little changes to clutch material and solenoids since they don't come with as much hp/tq. The Valve body is basically the same and Bill has done E55 valve bodies before and performance transmissions also that were put in E55s.

You can still hear the torque management doing it's thing during the shift ( engine quiets down and then roars again...don't know if it's the throttle that closes for a split second or if it's the SC that disengages ). Can this be eliminated? I want the car to shift like this:

Maybe I'm asking too much.

Is that all that is needed now, install and tcu tune? No limp mode after that? If so sign me up for a 3.27 gear or 3.55

Your best bet would be to contact Bill and ask about it, I had just read other forums around the internet and came across him in some SRT 8 vehicle forum. He then mentioned how he has done the E55 valve body and performance transmissions for them as well so I got in contact with him. He really only does the valve bodies on the Chryslers since they keep him plenty busy, so no Mercedes stuff is even mentioned on his website but since they are so similar he has worked on Benz stuff too. The performance transmissions that are built use Benz AMG clutches and many guys swap out the AMG blue top shift solenoids for their brown top ones to get better shifts as well in their SRT 8 vehicles. His name is Bill Schurr and his website is www.Paramountperformanceproducts.com

car rips threw the rpms like its on juice!!!! nice vids man.
Debating if iwant to mess with my tcu since my car takes a beating the way it is now and I wouldnt want to put more stress on the tranny.
revving to 7k would also help big time in the 1/4 mile as 3rd gear would shift in a better spot in the power band.

Let's see:
Revving at 6,500, our stock gearing will fall like this:
1st to 2nd = 3,900rpm@51
2nd to 3rd = 4,200rpm@84
3rd to 4th = 4,600rpm@131
4th to 5th = 5,400rpm@185
Revving at 7,000, it would look like this:
1st to 2nd = 4,300rpm@55
2nd to 3rd = 4,500rpm@91
3rd to 4th = 5,000rpm@141
4th to 5th = 5,800rpm@199
If I use my dyno:
I can say that the car will indeed be quicker as it would have better average power, assuming it doesn't fall flat on it's face after 6500rpm.
Now, if we rev to 7K and install a 2.82 it would look like this:
1st to 2nd = 4,300rpm@52
2nd to 3rd = 4,500rpm@85
3rd to 4th = 5,000rpm@133
4th to 5th = 5,800rpm@187
Takes better advantage of the powerband AND faster acceleration via shorter gearing. Win - Win!!
2nd gear is even worse than 3rd.

GT-ER, could you slap in a 3.27 gear and 3.55 gear into your formula please? You left out rear tire sizing which would change the final gear ratio. If you can plug that in, the tire would be the standard 255-50-16

6500rpm w/ 3.27FD w/ 255-50-16:
1st to 2nd = 3900rpm@42mph
2nd to 3rd = 4200rpm@68mph
3rd to 4th = 4600rpm@106mph
4th to 5th = 5400rpm@150mph
6500rpm w/ 3.55FD w/ 255-50-16:
1st to 2nd = 3900rpm@38mph
2nd to 3rd = 4200rpm@63mph
3rd to 4th = 4600rpm@98mph
4th to 5th = 5400rpm@138mph
Those gear ratios are kinda insane imo...it would spin 2nd gear like crazy.
