E55 dyno numbers question, need help
hi guys, i"m new here.
i got a 04 E55 and i just got a cl55 amg engine installed cause i blowed up my stock engine.
i went to a dyno, and get 411.13whp, and 391.81wtq.
i believe that the torque should be higher than the hp.
anybody knows why?

What's your AF ratio?
What gear did you dyno?
Did you dyno just once or was this a consecutive run?
I can't see the dyno graph - probably blocked here at work.
It sounds to me like the guy running it either a) didn't dyno the car in the appropriate gear (3rd) or b) started too late in the RPM range -remember, these cars make peak torque 2000-3500 range, and then it tapers off as the RPM rises.
EDIT: Something is definitely wrong as a healthy, stock 55K motor should be making 450+ torque at the wheels..

If I can assume that the hp and torque cross at 5252, then he started the pull at 4500rpm which will not give you appropriate results. Maximum torque on these cars happens at around 3000-3500rpm.
You may want to look for a better dyno operator since I'm hoping that isn't the only curve you got...
