    55k engine - removing the 4k rev limit?

    I dont know if this is true in all the 55k engines, but it certainly is in mine. I cant rev it past 4,000 rpm when at standstill. Is there any way of removing this limiter so it can rev more freely like a C63 etc etc. Thanks

    55K - IC Pump & Plugs

    Hello all, Going to get my car in for some fluid flushes this month (ABC, Trans, Brake Fluid, rear diff and Coolant) and was just wondering if it would be worth getting the IC pump replaced at the same time. I read these start to lose a fair bit of power after a year and just wanted your...
