| RE: MORE HORSEPOWER
GTa- You're lucky that you have the M119 engined car.
Here is a summary of some great parts you can get, some a re pricey.
1) On Ebay there is a seller by the name of "hiperformance" that sells a chip upgrade for your ECU and he claims that you get 27-35hp increase. Installation is less than half an hour and his feedback is very good form other Benz owners. Price typically around $110. Worth checking into.
2) Renntech can reprogram your ECU, you pull out the entire ECU, send it to them and they will send it back, turn around about a week-ish. Cost is $800, power increase is in the 10-15% region.
3) Renntech make a fully tuned stainless catback for your car and they have tested it to make around a 10% increase and cost is $1800.
4) Renntech make a full carbon fiber air intake with plenum that gives an approx. 5-7% increase in hp. Price is around $900ish.
So for around $3500 you can have performance that will outmuscle a 500E.
