If I were you I'd forget about making a special trip for tuning with Jerry and keep working with Cory....

Cory will be able to tell you a lot more about what is wrong with your tune (if anything) and can put the EXACT same tune that you liked back on the car. Having a second tuner messing around with the car at this point only confuses the process and makes troubleshooting that much harder.

Besides, if the IC pump ends up being bad... Jerry isn't going to be able to make your car run any better with his tune. You'll be spending money but not getting anywhere.... Confirming the existing tune is a 100% correct Kleemann version will be a huge step in diagnosing and resolving your power loss issue.

Yeah the only thing I'm worried bout is driving to Jersey & it ends up not being the tune.. but after Cory saw the graph he said it seems like a mechanical issue or just a ****ty tune.. Recommend a compression test which I did, which checked out good

They all read around 100 on the gauge.. I've been told my gauge reads low, but all cylinders were consistent.

No, that's way off, even on low reading gauges you should have 140psi at least

Something doesn't sound right, 100psi on all cylinders, there's usually 5psi difference between some cylinders which is fine.

How long have you been driving that car with being rich like that?

They all read "around" 100, some were 90's some were between 100-106..

I'm not sure how long it's been like this, first time I had it on a dyno.. was told by Paul it held a steady 10.5 AFR when it left the shop which is obviously false.

Don't do any tunes until you are sure about the compression test, some E55s are for sale these days without compression tests being done before buying

Some of the cheaper compression gauges glitch out around 100-120PSI. I ran a compression on my Toyota 4.7 and my E55 before purchasing and both sat right at 80-120PSI. A quality gauge read accurate and within spec.

I do have cams, I'm not sure if it would lower the compression.. Hopefully someone will chime in & let us know.

Do yourself a favor and do some reading before you take too much advice from Skratch77.....


https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...ml#post5640641

(Start reading at around Post #46)

He's pathological..... Posted up dyno graphs of an SLR motor claiming his E55 was laying down close to 600WHP. Got totally busted by MBWorld and slithered away for almost a year, not daring to show his face in this forum again.

Apparently he's now trying to quietly ease his way back onto this forum.

He has never admitted to lying about his dyno results, despite being caught dead-to-rights. You'll have to decide for yourself if you want to take advice from a guy like that.
