When you are used to FI, NA engines feel slow. The big GM SUVs I have driven with the 6.2 feel lethargic to me.
I can tell no difference without it, and it was detached and just flapping around in there anyways. Now that I know thats not it (I really thought it was, damn) I will reinstall it when I take the wheel well cover off. Has to be installed from behind the cover. Thats this weekends project, already told my wife she gets the S580 this weekend lol
@Striker223 whats a good appropriate and inexpensive floor jack I can get at Harbor Freight or Lowes or HD to lift the sort of cars I have? Understand its likely to be used for this and probably never again
I wish MB sold the luxury front end for the E Class here with the stand up star. I would seriously consider a E450 loaded up with air suspension and luxury styling. You can add the star to any Mercedes but it looks dumb with the big star also in the grille.

If you're an Inside Track member at HF, This Daytona jack is $120 through tomorrow, and these jack stands are $40 through the end of the month. I have and love the Super Duty Daytona, but it's 2.5x the price and way overkill for your use.
I use the long arm low profile version but that will not be needed with your cars since one can raise itself and the other isn't that low....in my case I have to make sure I can get under various cars,

People act like turbo engines are slow down low, but it's really the opposite. Through about 3,000 RPM, the Coyote in my truck makes a lot of noise but not a lot of acceleration. Kind of annoying on long hills.
At 1300 RPM, the BMW puts me back in my seat and pulls like a rocket.
