Yes, we are working on E/SL/S55 engine mods.

The OverDrive pulleys are in the progress of being made. We already have Stage I software developed. I will have some dyno charts up very shortly.

Further development will mirror what we are doing for C32. In essence both engines are the same, just different number of cylinders.

Upgrades will be as follows:

Stage I: OverDrive Pulleys with Stage I software

Stage II: Stage I plus headers, plug wires, revised Stage II software and HiFlow air filters.

Stage III: Stage II plus Laminova intercooler, CF air boxes and tuned intake manifold, revised Stage III software, Shrick cams.

Stage IV: Stage III plus, 6.3L long block, ported cyilnder heads with bigger stainless steel valves, revised Stage IV software.

FinnishC32: If you can have your E55 down for several days, we can FedEx the ECU and turn it around in about 2-3 days.

OK. How about my dealer? Can they see that there is modifications in software? How about differences between US and EU cars? Like fuel octanes etc...Thanks for all info!

FinnishC32: You are welcome!

The software is not visible to the dealer. Their scan tool will not pickup on any modifications to it.

To my knowledge US and Euro cars are the same. DME contains the same software, the only difference is octane setting that is done by the dealer prior to delivery. I do not forsee any problems.

Our Software is downloaded into the ECU, leaving it undetectable (unless they have a dyno ). We have the ability to modify our program to accept whatever octane you use. In the US, we prefer to leave it at 91 octane, as this is safest with the quality gas we use.

Our pulleys will be the same color as stock, and not noticable unless directly examined.

We have begun testing of our ODPS, and are looking for a few more cars to verify our findings on prior to release. If anyone is in the Southern CA area, or is willing to transport their car, we will work with them to make it worth their time.

Thanks,

Ben

Some software simply raises the speed limiter to speeds in excess of 200mph. Ours actually removes it completely. Either would allow speeds higher than the car is able to travel.

Thanks,

Great news, I'm glad we have worked out our steering wheel issue, and can move on too bigger and better things.
