hey adam how did you find rpm reading? are you going to work on this car, is that why you dynoed it or did the owner just want a base line.

I didn't think the torque would drop off so quickly as the RPMs increased. Sure it has an amazing peak, but it's so short lived.

When you have high hp the #s can significantly vary from dyno to dyno and car to car.

Hot weather hindered the hp numbers. Bad air day...

Looks lean to 3500 then a little fat. Is it intentionally fat from the factory at high revs for cooling to reduce detonation or is that just programming error???

05 SL 55 AMG, 01 Turbusa/8.43 @ 183..1/4 mi.
Impressive..........

If I can get my puny -55 even close to 500 RWHP, I'll be happy......................torque on the -65 is just off-the-scale.

The -55 just does not have enuf cylinders/boost to get close to 700 ft. lbs, the -65 is a very nice car, IMO.

The thrust is very addicting...

3 months and no speeding tickets, it must be divine intervention.

Cali heat+Cali 91 octane= just fair numbers. These intercoolers are super efficient and these dyno numbers dont do the car justice, under real world conditions when the air is moving properly the car works like magic.

hi adam...

i guess i just don't know enough about power generation and delivery to understand why those dyno numbers are good relative to the specs.

regardless, my SL65 has torque to spare, so i have no complaints about it.

The HP is a bit on the soft side understandable for the heat involved and the crappy 91 octane gas, im actually surprised it made that much....but the torque is above spec which im sure is rated at 93oct+

I would assume a ECU/TCU tune would only affect 1/4 mile times as traction is already an issue with the 65. Do you know the real world 0-60 and 1/4 mile gains with that tune?
