Dyno Run
Thought this would interest you W211 E55'ers since the 2003 - 2005 CL55 and the E55 share the same engine:

Well, there is an easy way to put that rumor to bed. Go measure your pulley and I will measure mine.
We will then compare and see if they are the same diameter.

Is it #1 (sorry didnt have a better pic,you cannot see the round thing there, but it's there!) or # 2 (not sure what is it but i think it has a belt on it too) on my pic? I'm confused!

Real Cars
Adam,
Thanks for the post.
The A/F ratio in the upper RPM is pitiful, and I've discussed before why AMG does this. It all relates to the achilles heel of our cars - poor heat management.
I have read that the CL/SL/Ss actually have an additional low temp radiator the E55s don't have - and have seen the parts confirming this. In addition, there are a few other things here and there (better intake tube, for instance) I'm sure with all those put together you can see where the 10-20rwhp difference comes from. Not a big difference, but it's there.
Overall, the way I interpret our dyno graphs is I am absolutely astounded at what kind of real hp these motors would have from the factory if they simply dealt with heat better. The heat problem has such a detrimental effect on the engine's performance and we still whip out low 400rwhp figures. If you were able to keep temps at a reasonable level, and leaned out the air fuel ratio... these cars would be putting down nearly 500rwhp+++ from the factory, without question.
The M113 Kompressor motor is an absolutely amazing factory motor, definitely one of my top 10 favorites of all time. Just an amazing engine.
