Dyno run -- 441 rwhp -- great sound clip

So now I finally now what this car puts down at the rear wheels ... 441 rwhp and 430 ft. lbs torque. The tech there told me it was running very rich. Right around a 10.8 AFR. I've got to ask Kleemann about this, because if it is indeed running rich, I'm not making all the power I can can, correct?

Just a reminder... the did 307 baseline so I gained 134 rwhp with the Kleemann mod. Kleemann's number of 531 crank hp is dead on. This reflects a 18% drivetrain loss.

Here the vid -

I know the exhaust added nothing in terms of power of the AMG exhaust, but it sure does sound freaking awesome! I figured you guys would like to hear it!

.......you are right. My car is a year 2000 E55. It is an older car with lower baseline HP and has essentially same HP as yours (mine 434, yours 441) but my rear wheel torque is 450.LINK . My car has been tuned to the max. You can get an idea from the square nature of my Dynograph. And I do not think that there is much more I can do to mine except add additional components such as camshafts etc. Yours is a different story. I know that all cars are not the same and dyno numbers to vary, but your car seems to be running rich and you may be loosing some HP and torque behind. As you can see, you get a better idea about your car's performance when you do dyno in RWHP with a bong to measure A/F ratio. People think that one is attacking Kleemann when this gets pointed out.

the M113 from the 2000 E55 and the 2005 C55 are slightly different!!! Your E55 has a 10.5:1 compression ratio, while the C55 has an 11.0:1 compression ratio. Maybe something different with the head? domed pistons? thicker head gasket? Who knows... someone should look into it.

..........I am aware of this. My point is that his engine is capable of more HP and torque than he is currently getting. This was made more clear because his engine is running a bit rich. His high compression ratio means that with same supercharger set up, he should be getting more HP and torque. It is possible that with such a high compression ratio, Kleemann is running his s/c at considerably less boost in order to prevent his engine from blowing up.
