If you have a CLK430 and install a Kleemann kit on it it'll give about 550hp right? On the other hand if you have an AMG 55 engine and install a Kleemann kit on it it'll also give 550hp right???


Does this make sense?? Shouldn't the AMG 55 engine get a little bit more hp since from the start it already produces a respective hp vs the stock CLK430?? Comments pls.

thanks!

i dont think you get 550hp with the 430 engine.....that is 55 tho

awiner

The 430 engine with a Kleemann gets 430hp / 393lb-ft Torque while the 55 engines get 550hp / 504lb-ft Torque....

Hey Ben!

That doesn't sound right shouldn't the torque be more than the HP?? Stock AMG 55 engine is 349hp and 391-lb of torque and the kleemann is 550hp and 504-lb of torque?? I talked to a guy who has the kleemann kit on his E55 at the Willow Springs and he said that the torque on his car is about 560lbs??
