Thumbs up 99 E300 with Speedtuning's Computer Program

Had Speedtuning USA reflash my ECM and the wife could feel the difference in the performance. In the last couple of weeks, it seems like we picked up 1 mpg. The only drawback, if you can call it that is that it behaves like a semi when you hit the pedal in that it will smoke. I talked to Oliver at Speedtuning USA and he said that is OK. In fact, he said if I wanted to, I could put a K&N filter which might help it in the smoking and increase the boost by 5 psi. Hmmmm. The wife used to complain that this car didn't seem to have enough Ooomph when she was passing. Now she is much happier. Wonder how much happier she will be if I install a boost gauge and increase the boost.
