I think that kit is for the 55 motor family- the doc shows 10:1 compression and the 55 we have is 11:1, right?
To be honest to you I'm not too familiar with engine upgrades and I do not know if these upgrades that you're talking about (shorty headres, greens and an ECU upgrade) I could do them myself. My other concern is doing something that will void the manufacturer warranty. I spoke to aservice advisor at mercedes and he tols me that the B55 upgarde is OK by mercedes and will not void my warranty so that is a big plus for me. Regarding the compression, I have no clue. I do appreciate your input and would like to Thank you for your information
