If you've got a way to get it to 6 sec please let me know!

Regardless, thanks for the tip on removing the heat shield and the like, I'll make sure to do that before I start fiddling.
0-60 on a W124 should be around 10.5-11 seconds. 12.5-13 seconds for a W126 (bigger/heavier car). 6 seconds is faster than many sports cars, there's no way a stock 145ish HP diesel from the 80s is gonna do a 6 second 0-60 without some serious modifications.
