I ask because I was about to have mine tuned yet it shoots past the 130 claimed limiter like nothing and pretty sure it can bury its speedo with ease. So I am wondering if the car is already tuned or just had the limiters removed.
I want to dyno it first and am curious whay kind of numbers it should be around? Its a standard Dynojet, not a Mustang Dyno or direct bolt to the hub dyno.

 

 

Curious to see what it makes, I never dynoed mine either before/after tune, but the driving difference is amazing. If you ever drove a stock one, you would know immediately if it's tuned lol. It's like 100 more hp, the wheelspin at 40-50mph is strong unless it has very sticky tires.

 

My CL was around 400 RWHP and after a Renntech ECU/TCU tune it was around 525 RWHP. The tune totally transformed the car. Felt slow before the tune and much better and more responsive after.

 

Yeah if the TC is on I still see it flashing at 60. Its just hard to tell because I went from a W216 CL65 to it so wasnt sure. I gotta dyno it next Saturday.

 

 

Read an interesting article on the CL600 twin turbo recently, which said the MB understated the true HP and torque of this model as they were scared it could affect the the AMG market. Car And Driver magazine got 540hp and 850nm torque out of it on a dyno. MB rated this car at 500hp and 800nm.

 

and you can get far over the CL65 specs out of it just with Chiptune

 

The engine made 540 in the maybach cars, it was probably making the same in the Benz line, but the previous "top dog" 55AGM was only making 493, so that's what the 600 got listed at. The stock whp figures are usually in line with 540 crank hp, same as the M285 in the maybach

 

The Maybach was able to make a little more hp because there was more room under the bonnet/hood and therefore a more free-flowing exhaust system could be used.(Read that in an official MB article)

 

Right, except that's just not the case. Turbos and exhaust parts aren't different. Sales rhetoric is all that was.

 

According to MB documentation, the S600 had 1.0 bar boost and the Maybach had 1.2 bar.

That was in the well-known M275 training document.

I run 21 psi with the my 275.950 engine lol like 1.5 bar lol
