The SLK 32 has different cams and is factory rated at 349 hp. Expect it to dyno higher. It should dyno in the neighborhood of 280 to 290 hp.

Look down the forum a thread or two. You'll see that I ran a 13.27 @ 105 mph at the Texas Motorplex.
I did a quick search for horsepower calculators and typed in your trap speed and ET based on the 3,328 advertised weight and I figured you weighed a buck fifty. Interesting results though. I am trying to upload the picture of the results. What is your approx altitude where you live?
