Post Dyno results (large images attached)

Had my car dynoed after installing the ecu and pulley kit. Unfortunately I didn't get the before dyno for a comparison.

I am pleased with the seat of the pants results. Driveability is good, throttle response is quicker. Happy about no more top speed governor

3rd gear?

Jon, Thanks for sharing your data.

Apparently 3rd gear is the best gear to dyno in, smoothest and most indicative of power.

Your data looks like it correlates very well to another Renntech chart I saw (SLK32, but same motor and mods).

Was your car cool when tested? What was the weather like outside that day? Congrats!

I'm a little dissapointed. 300 @ the wheels is 360 @ the crank. That is only 10 more hp more then stock is supposed to be. Does mercedes overrate the c32?

I hope your numbers are down due too the intercooler being heat soaked at those higher boost levels. It looks like something is wrong because the HP numbers begin tailing off after 4500rpm. My stock dyno chart shows a more straight line from bottom to top. If this is supposed to be true on yours it would produce another 20-30hp to the wheels.

My stock dyno is 294hp before the car was broken in. It is probably more now.

A stock dyno of 294 is right where the car should be! That is good news. I wonder how much power you would make with a chip + pulley.

C32 AMG
Jon: It is always good idea to do a baseline. Of ten C32s that we ran stock, HP ranges from 270 to 297. So now there is no way to tell what the actual gain is.

Our C32 makes 297HP and 290 ft.lbs. of TQ with just pulleys and Stage I IC upgrade, on 91 octane. See R&D #4 post below. It desparately needs more timing to smooth the curves out. Also we always run cars through the gears, as it is more representative of street driving.
