[W126 Coupe] Performance Chips

[Jonathan Hodgman]

Waxing your car makes it feel more powerful, it's just the way it works 
in our nifty brains..;-)

If you have a smart phone you should DL one of the dyno apps, do a 
before and after run, even some 40-90 pulls which should be Workable on 
that long a commute..  The 0-100 runs can be a bit harder to come by.

Often, the old plugs are worn and just putting a New, fresh plug it 
improves things.  I have yet to find a plug that does a better job then 
a regular 'ol copper core, non resistor.
