489whp on a S7? Impressive! I cant get my car to dyno right but if it made that kind of power i'd be really happy! I know the SLK55 has a higher c/r (11:1) than mine (10.5:1) so it shoul dmake more power. Do you have mods other than the S7? Ever ran your car in the 1/4? I ran a 11.75 last year with the S7 and LSD CLK55 (done some more stuff since then). Lookng to run low 11's when I go to the track on Oct. 8th!

You ran an 11.8 @ 118 mph without an LSD. I'd imagine this would be a good future purchase for you Jessie! Cheers.
