No longer stock '06 E55, A3 3.2 Quattro, LRD4 HSE, R107 280SL
SL55 power increase ...

Guys anyone work out how they got the increased power on the SL55's now app 517hp & 720 nm.

Mbe we can apply similar upgrade to our cars...

Think 030 CLS's also have updated mapping given Tony007's great stock dyno figs.

I was also wondering the same thing. The SL55, S55 and CL55 have the 493hp rating but have the same tq ratings as our cars. 24hp difference

I think Steve is right on.. Bone stock my CLS55 030 put down 442.2 rwhp and 510.0 rwtq.

These are SAE corrected rwhp numbers from a Dynojet.

It looks like torque was increased over the entire RPM range. My guess would be a small increase in the boost level.

Yeah I agree. There is something different, mostly software and upped boost. Just look at the SLR 600 617hp and 575tq and its pretty much the same 5.5L 24v engine. We need a Technical overview describing what in fact is different.
