SL65 BS on the dyno ** VID ** 573wheel stock
THAT's in 3rd by the way. When Vadim did my car in 4th, the numbers were higher.
Looks like Benz snuck a few extra HP into her.

In the article they say it is a 3rd gear dyno run where it made 573rwhp and 682lbs-ft of torque.

I also have to wonder how much a difference the placement of the airboxes towards the front and sides is impacting the hp #'s. The "old" set-up has the airboxes right on top of the engine heating the plastic up quite a bit. What is funny is that after some runs I can usually touch my I/C cores and the metal will be warm(probably due to the Johnson CM030 pump working its magic)...but the plastic airboxes will be much hotter to the touch.

3rd gives higher numbers than 4th in our cars.
Loving to see some data out of the SLBS

Maybe some Jang, but it wasn't the case with my car down at Vadim's. I kept beggin him over and over to run my car in 4th. (Vadim is extremely precise and was worried about fans and detonation) but when he finally did, BAM, we hit 700hp on er.
