What was done to it to give it 345-355 crank hp? 
Very Nice looking car though.

345 to 350hp to the crank ,280whp in the 4.3L is pretty impressive.

Are you running a supercharger on that new 5.5 liter? because stock crank hp #'s for that engine are 349HP 391TO? Actually even supercharging that motor w/driveline loss of 22% factored in, you'd be closer to 385-390HP at the wheels??
Or do you have numerous other mods ie. chip, exhaust, headers, boost enhancing underdrive pulleys, ?? ps I spoke w/that Ebay seller possibly same 1 you bought your 5.5 from he said he might be able to get another 1 for 14k! sounds almost doable to me but then, he went on about how, I better not race it or mod it IE. Supercharge it, and not to be red lining it, he also said the engine he might be able to get was not rebuilt and only had 25k miles on it. I don't know but he sounds like he's selling some Horse ****! I hope you didn't buy from this guy...

By the way I was talking about my Eagle Talon TSI AWD when I mentioned 413whp on pump gas..It's also listed on the side of my car list,How did you miss it?

Oh my bad I missed that part about the Eagle Talon...
When you PM'd me about where and how much you paid for your 5.5 liter, you said you bought it off Ebay for 5k so I checked out Ebay and found only 1 guy dealing in used Mercedes engines, and that's why I said "Possibly the same guy you bought your 5.5 from"
