The SLK55 comes from the factory without a supercharger unlike other 55 models. it is rated at 350hp, which should dyno at around 300-305hp to 'the wheels.' that meansadding the blower added another 71hp. not bad for a starting point. they may decide to push further, but who knows.
This is not a factory-supercharged car. The original engine made 355 horsepower (at the crank). I'd expect something like 302 hp to the wheels, naturally aspirated.
This made a good deal more than that, but (as I mentioned below in another comment) still not as much as I might expect given the aftermarket supercharger.
Hey Chris, no offense taken. (We didn't build the car, we just dyno'ed it.)
I agree, you'd expect a little more power from a supercharged version of this car. The builders are looking into it. Perhaps we'll have another video with a follow-up to this...
The SLK55 AMG has 355 HP & 376 TQ at the crank, which going by a conservative 15% loss is about 302 RWHP & 320 RWTQ. The numbers are good dont get me wrong but, I thought they would be higher than that with a supercharger. Is it set on low boost for safety? If you could let me know that would be great. The car looks and sounds great. My father has a CLS63 AMG so I do like Mercedes. I don't wan't you to think I'm bashing you guys here... I'm just curious to know, that's all. Thanks
hey man how much do you charge for a dyno run.... i live in ashburn and would like the get my car on it soon.

@lodownlv I'm not really sure what you are saying. Do you mean the wheels are sapping power? Those are stock wheels for this car.

Wow that's very low, considering that the stock Mercedes 55k engine pushes out over 500HP

I'm sorry, I don't have more pictures. I think they're just the stock wheels with a red stripe painted on. But yes, I agree they look nice.
