Dano,
>Has anyone measured the true power of your ride ! > >Is it certain that ALL W140 has lost their max. BHP:s No, that hat is not normal. Mercedes certifies the engine power very conservatively, so most engines will be stronger than said. >Mine 500SE -91 W140 >326 hp ---> Tested 289 hp Have you run the car on a dyno? Was it well calibrated? The automatic transmission will eat some power... bis denn, Christian 1989 300TE

Did you factor in the standard ~20% transmission losses?
