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

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.

Thinking about this myself, but on the fence....how much does EC charge for the TCU tune?
