2005 E55 AMG....Speed is Relaxin'
Im doing my TCU flash next week.
The graph definitely shows it.
Occasionally my car dips at approx 60-62 mph @ WOT too.
Now it ALL makes sense....Very interesting, hopefully TCU flash
will correct it.
Thanks

When you make more torque than the limiter is set at, it feels like old school Traction control. It will cut fuel ect.
So removing the torque limiter will allow you to use more of the available torque
Will this decrease the longevity of the transmission?... maybe, but not in itself. The modifications taking the drive train well beyond its design (HP/TRQ) comes with risk, and most who mod accept those risks

Heh, I don't accept the risk, hence why I do light modding. :p
But still, a bit apprehensive on the TCU tune. Maybe if it raises the torque limit, but not the rev limit.
