Yes of cause I did, it's a 500 HP 03 SL 55.

MB / AMG is always right on the spot with the HP figures, I see from 480 - 520 HP, depending a little on how hot the IC is getting.

I did also messure the S 600 biturbo, it shows from 500 - 540 HP
as standard.

All mesurements are fly wheel figures.

But now I am working on the mods on both cars, I can post the final result, I am just fine tuning the last details.

I appreciate your reply, I would love to see a dyno chart if you have one handy. Iam still contemplating the RENNtech ECU and Pulley Upgrade, they got 437hp and 479lb/ft at the wheels. Iam wondering if how the my new E55 will fair on a dyno. Hvae you seen any E55 dyno figures?

Smile I forgot to add

Sorry Lucas, I for got to add they only got 390 hp at the wheels in stock trim, I thought that was kind of on the low side, but they made 446 lbs/ft, that seems to be impressive. Your thoughts?

I know the E 55 is a little lower in out put, we have one in Germany, but it's still similar to the other 55 in the curve, just a little lower, but remember the car is lighter.

FYI

Those RENNtech numbers I posted were for an SL55.
