Stock S65 Dyno vid
Hey, thought you guys might want to see this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABBoK...elated&search=
Amazing. If I'm right, thats about 675hp/820 tq at the crank!!!
M-B seriously under-rates. Now I have a question that I've been meaning to ask: does this mean all the power claims that the tuners claim are higher as well? And also, there is a thread here where someone dyno'd his 600, and put to the wheels what M-B said at the crank. So that means about 610 hp/710 tq. Insane! Does this mean also that M-B is lying about the tranny? They claim it can only handle 738 tq, but obviously that's not true if 65s make 820. All this is very interesting, and it shows, of course, that M-B makes the craziest stock engines ever!

Doing the math looks like your using 21.5% loss way too high.Not that over rated from fact specs....
Engine
6.0L Twin 604 hp gas Standard
Number of cylinders: 12
Number of valves: 36
Camshaft: Single overhead cam (SOHC)
Horsepower: 604 hp @ 4800 rpm
Torque: 738 ft-lbs @ 2000 rpm

What driveline % loss are you using? 18% for automatics is a very generous rule of thumb used in the industry, which equates to 654.87 HP 797.56 Torque @ the Crank still very stout Doing the math looks like your using 21.5% loss way too high.

Still amazing power though. But does that still mean that the tranny is more tough than we thought?

This only proves that Dyno is not that accurate way of measure real power.
It´s good to check before and after upgrades, and even so, nothing like real world driving or a trip to the dragster circuit to check if your chip + Exhaust gives the +130hp that your tuner claims
