The data is all in my spreadsheet. The W140 booster has a boost factor of 6.85 however this would probably result in the pedal being far too "touchy", resulting the pedal that is either on or off, with poor modulation.
After trying multiple combinations, I ended up using the W201 booster (4.50 factor) with the standard 6-cyl MC on my 300D. The 500E booster+MC was way, way too touchy... the 500E booster with 6-cyl MC was better but still not right. Full details are in a forum thread on MB World.
The Silver Arrow brakes on a 500E work fine with the 500E booster+MC, no upgrades are needed. I have this setup on my '92 and dozens of other people have done the same with zero complaints. You'd likely end up wasting a lot of time and $$$ trying to fix what ain't broken...
