Got Some Baseline #s On My C55
Well I bought a C55 about 2 months back and it has been great and thought I would share my baseline numbers.

I got all the chrome on the car color matched and the day I got it back from the paint guy went to the drag strip. I also got a chance to put it on a dyno, only mods are deleted resonator and K&N drop in filters. Dyno is a Dynojet® Model 248C

I have looked around and have seen alot of stockish C55 motors putting down under 300 I was pleasantly suprised to see mine put down over that to the wheels

If you were on a Dyno-Dynamics dyno or a MAHA dyno or a Mustang Dyno or any other dyno other than a Dynojet you would have put down under 300hp too.

Its all in the dyno. They all read different.. Dyno Jets tend to read the highest.

Good numbers though

Good numbers - both on the dyno and at the drag strip. What tires are you running for the strip?

So far they have been fantastic. A whole hell of a lot better than the bald pirellis that were on there
