Power Distribution on a Dyno
I asked this question on the Sedan Forum, got a lot of view buy no replies. I'm hoping to get more help here!
I’m getting my C400 dyno’ed for baseline HP. It will be done on a Maha Lps3000 chasis dyno. I plan on getting a OE Flash tune after and hitting the dyno again to see the gains. My question is this:
How is the power between rear tires and front tires distributed? I’ve looked online and couldn’t find any info except for two articles saying it was 45% front 55% rear. Other then that NOTHING!
Can anyone here confirm this or point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Alex

C450, GLS 63 and a few other things
The C400 was the MB standard 45/55.
It is considered 'fixed' but breakaway clutches can shift up to 70% front or rear, and the brakes are used to manage the rest.
With the car in dyno mode, the electronics will be shut off, so you should be good to go.

Thank you both! So what is the final say? 45/55?
The reason this question came up was because I was told the shop would be able to adjust the dyno to the specific vehicle distribution. Making the results more accurate.

C400 review
The more rear-biased split is an AMG thing (well, at least marketed that way). The C400 was pre AMG Sport/43 models.

Also thank you all, I've posted a few performance question in the (W205) Sedan section with NO replies at all!
Thanks again,
