So many reliable resources claim the 55s are 5.5L V8s when they're obviously (or not) not

SLR has a m155 engine. E55 is a m113 engine.
slr is dry sump
supercharger has external oil supply
multi piece crankcase
heads are the same, except valve train

Are there any flow advantages given by the valve train?
Otherwise this would indicate that the m113 engine can flow enough air with stock heads to achieve the same power levels.

From performance standpoint - SLR over 55s:
1. Dry sump lubrication (could be worth 20-25HP)
2. 1.5 lbs. of additional boost (15-20 HP)
3. Dual, external intercoolers (30-40 HP)
3. Equal-Length Headers (30-35HP)
4. No exhaust (just mufflers with cats) (10-15HP)
5. More agressive DME tuning for a lighter car (15-20HP)

AMGcrazy: No problem. Dry sump removes windage losses due to crank spinning in oil at the bottom of the sump. There are also additional benefits from more efficient lubrication and oil temperature control.

even the SLK 55 has the same engine block

Thanks for the response.
So you are saying there are no differences btw the internals other than lowered compression (head gasket change I would assume).
BTW
Any progress on an air-air intercooler for our E's?

As far as intercooling, we are working on SLR style upgrade, first drawings are going to machine shop on Monday.

Sweet!!!
Can't wait to see the results of this.
