W211 AMG Discuss the W211 AMG's such as the E55 and the E63

Jerry's a beast, Eurocharged is where it's at, and gear swaps are doable!

Props for being the first!
So, now that you are reducing the load, has the shift quickened for 1-2?

Is that all?! $550 for the kit and then all I would need is a TC tune??

Thanks, I'm glad I could make a useful contribution. My 1-2 shift is very quick, Jerry got all up and down on my tune Also you can feel how much the load is reduced on the engine when it's accelerating. On Sunday I pulled 40-150 in .43 miles, it just feels so strong!

Well this is officially the next "must have" mod. Where do we send the royalties? I personally think I would go the 3.23 route though.

PAcougar, I'd like to know where your RPMs are at the end of a 1/4 mile pass.

And how about on the highway at like 80mph? Curious how high they will be up in 5th and how much fuel mileage will suffer for a long trip. Around town it don't matter since the pedal is usually planted so many times that mileage is way down but it would be nice to not take a big hit on a long trip. I usually get 20mpg when going long distances.

I'll check after F1 in Austin. I don't have much to compare for highway mileage, I never pay much attention in the E when it comes to that.

So is what underdogg is saying right? You need to get the ecu and tcu redone? Also curious if someone were to choose the 3.23 instead of 3.55 if it is as simple as changing a few numbers in the tuning or if Jerry would need to start over getting all the shifting or what have you correct like he did for you with the 3.55 gears.

Ahhhh so I need to budget for an ecu tune as well....hmmm.....does that mean we at least get a higher rev limit and maybe a few extra hp, right?

26", I may pick up a set of 28" just to try something different. I want to see if I can get the car to rip in half

Any updates on this? Take any long trips to see mileage or know what rpm you are running at while up around 80mph? Also is ecu and tcu needing reflash or just tcu?

Then about this 11.5@125 1/4 mile video that popped up in another thread, was that before the tuning was sorted out or is that what we get? Details of the car for that run?
