Shave about 3% off my data to correct for altitude (it's 2700' up here). That should give you a rough ballpark for comparison.

Are you going to slip in 1 of your spare 5.0 ECUs to see what happens? Don't forget to improve the breathing to get the full benefit. What are your other plans for this car? Does it have ASR? What does "W.I.P." stand for? Work in progress? Do tell! Grab a 92 5.0 S class, swap the engines, and then sell the S class. That would be slick.

Yep, eventually I'll try a 1992 4.2L ECU, and also a 5.0L ECU. Which part number did you try, btw? I may not change the exhaust or intake, but we'll see. It's got ASR, heated seats, roller blind, rear reading lamps, and orthopedic seats - kinda cool. WIP = work in progress, it needs some odds & ends taken care of. If I like how it turns out, I may sell this one and look for a lower-miles E420 as a long-term keeper. This one is 199 black with black interior, but I'd prefer Garnet Red Metallic (with all the same options - I know, I know... fat chance.) For now it will be my wife's race car.

After driving it in stock form, GEEZ, how do you TOLERATE those gears? They are just STUPID! You can get a 2.65 for ~$250 and it's 100% bolt-in! That would be my preferred setup. I may put the 2.82 in there just because I'll have one left over from the 500 when that gets the LSD transplant in springtime. But first, I need to get AP-22 performance data as a baseline for comparison, for future mods...
