Hi all,
After driving it for a week, and watching RPM being around 2800-3000 at 80mph, I was thinking that 7-speed AMG transmission from ML 63 would be perfect for our trucks. It certainly wouldn't hurt performance (probably improve) and benefit fuel economy by at least 10-15%. I suspect, it should be direct fit. Most likely it will require new TCM. Anybody researched it? Price?
Is it wishfull thinking"
Also, have a question about Borla. From what I read, the improvements are limited to subjective visual/audible. At least, to the best of my knowledge, there's no dyno graph with objective ##. If I'm correct, can one get only mufflers, as opposed to cat back system? Pros and cons?
Thank you,
Isaak
