Hey Jay, is it possible that this mod only comes into play under part throttle conditions? Cause there was really no difference under full throttle but the part throttle did seem to be a bit stronger. It makes sense if you think about it. I mean if you were MB would you want high loads being put on the engine while it is still cold?

As to why this mod gained me fairly well with my 400E, that could be because it was also netting me a gain in fuel as well which was needed at that point because I was still running the non-enrichment ECU. In other words, it may have only been the increase in fuel that gave me most, if not all of my gain instead of both an increase in advance AND fuel like we originally thought. Maybe the only way to know for sure is to put an adjustable timing light on the subject car while the engine is fully loaded under WOT on a chassis dyno. I dunno. I do know though that I just hate tanking at the track and having to explain to people that not all of my chit is slow, just some of it! I just don't wanna give up though cause I just know there is a little more left in Benzer1! I'm not yet ready to admit defeat!

Jay, please review for us all of the mods you had done when you got that 205 number on the dyno. My goal for Benzer1 has been 200 hp 210 tq but to be honest, I would really like to see 205 hp 220 tq even if that seems a bit unreasonable. This day and age, with 300 hp common place, 205 is BARELY adequate so we need to pump up these M103s as much as possible! (No, I don't want to turbo this one because of the over 235,000 miles. How many miles were on Dima when you first turboed her?)
