From the spec sheet.

Just gimme the facts man, 6,000 seems about right.
My numbers are from Eurocharged who had me hooked up on the dyno. That's what Jake told me was the actual parameters when they were mapping out my engine's new programs.
They have worked on a few more cars than you. Argue with them.
Our engines are rated at 215 HP yet the same engine in the 320 SLK is 229 HP "by the book" Their actually is no difference. What's that about? Marketing. Diamler didn't want people thinking the cheaper Crossie had the same potential.
We learn so much from aftermarket gearheads and bless them, they know their stuff better than most of the factory mechanics. And they know the specs, the true ones.
You really should find a better hobby than trying to prove me wrong all the time.
BTW I think the speed limiter is based on the speedometer, not the tach, but can't swear to it.
