      Talk about a bold claim. Now Speedriven has done some great work so do not get us wrong but 1200+ horsepower out of the M275 is a very bold claim to make. The 1200+ HP Anarchy package includes Garret Tial Turbos, custom Speedriven manifolds, custom air to water intercoolers, custom intake, fuel pump, larger injectors, transmission upgrade, and all associated hardware. The Anarchy package retails for $32,000.

      Now, when making such a bold claim and putting out the specs and pricing where is the dyno? Where is the 1/4 mile time? Where is any support for the claim? We are not saying they have not hit this figure just we have seen these claims from Speedriven before without much supporting material. We are thrilled to see the M275 getting the attention it deserves but we want to see the wheel figures before recommending anyone blow $30,000 on anything.

        Nope, it isn't. The V12 can make a ton of power before headwork although yes at some point it will be a limitation. Not sure if the head is a limiting factor for 1200 hp.

        Looks like around 880 rwtq, too - the "spike" to 970+ notwithstanding.

        Well hopefully they deliver I just don't understand making the product claims before the result.

        Here, here!!

        That is a VERY bold claim without ANYTHING to back it up. They do good work, as I have seen on many boards. But to make a statment like this without a dyno sheetClick here to enlarge

        I only hope that it IS true

        Hope its true, but not sure I would hold my breath on this result. Dyno posted is 4th gear pull on a 5 speed trans to create artificially high number. Usually done in 3rd if not mistaken. Dyno numbers can be manipulated. How about a video and timeslip from the track. BTW, did they ever post any 1/4 mile numbers for the great white hope EV12?

        On the 5 speed MB/AMG trans, 4th is the 1:1 gear - it shouldn't create an "artificially high" number. People only dyno the 5 speed in 3rd if they're avoiding a factory-tune speed limiter.

        Yes, though, agree - dyno numbers can be manipulated. The reality in today's tuning market from what I can tell, is that if a handful of kits are in customers' hands, and they've dyno'd at independent facilities near wherever they're at, and the results come back the same as advertised by the company... you can believe the numbers aren't just "marketing" and are solid. Until then... there's always a healthy skepticism applied... fortunately or unfortunately, that's the way it seems to be.

        This correct.
