Default Re: HP discrepancies between SLK 320 and Crossfire

Take for instance I found some info on the engines shipped to Karmann from AMG. Same motor used in their version was used in the SRT6. Same! So, how do you come up with 330hp over 349hp? You lie! Can you imagine a car company lying? It is what it is. So, the big disagreement was just how much HP do you gain with the aftermarket parts based on the 330 number vs the 349. I won't go there as we know what HP we have gained roughly thru dyno after dyno and comparing similar modded cars. That is what I suggest you do Nick. Compare the mods others have done and see where you would like to go.
AMG's site puts their supercharged 3.2 at 354HP, and lists it in both the Crossfire and the SLK.

go figure...
