[W126 Coupe] Performance Chips

[Richard & Nancy Diefenbach]

Exactly!  My Dad always used to say a clean car runs better.  I would really like to know what these replacement “chips” and plugs  can really do.  Anyone live near a shop with a dyno?

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.

Jonathan I drive 86 miles each way daily believe me I do feel the increase in power but no difference in the fuel and you are correct there should be an increase in the fuel efficiency.

Dyno of Some sort or I'm forever skeptical.

If you are making more power--> greater efficiency you would also notice a corresponding increase in mileage.

I replace the spark plugs with E-3 plugs I notice a increase on the Hp and quick start, they also claim to increase your miles per gallon I still get the same 17 miles on the highway.

                I also have an ’89 and have tweaked it about as far as it will go.  So, I

                would certainly be interested in any increase in hp, that can be obtained

                at a reasonable cost.
