Should I get the Kleeman Supercharger??

There is a special going on for the Kleeman supercharger now through Evosport.

If I get the Supercharger It will give me 430 Hp and 393 lbs of torque. This would yield some significant gains

would I break 12 sec 1/4 mile. ??

damn its tempting

i've driven in a 430 w/ it, it felt pretty strong. I didn't get to drive it though so I have no real report

I met the guy at a local car meet.

The Kleeman Superchargers are definitely worth the cash...they are very reliable and they always yield significant gains. I think that if you get a good enough deal on it that it will be definitely worth it. If you want more information, PM me and I can give you the name of a place in Westchester that has done numerous installs on Benzes...including a SL 55...

Man lou, you have too much time on your hands. You should keep that car the way it is, and buy a porshe. Stop pissing away your money. If you got nothing else to spend you money on, i have some trash in my garage if you want to buy that.

WTF Lou???

If you're thinking about 11K-15K for a blower, why didn't you just fork that over originally and get a new M3, a used Porche, etc???

You must have some serious cash flow, my friend...

$11k?



I just looked up the weight of your car, approx 3300lbs?

ya 430hp would push you into the 12's if you can hookup...

mid 12's, on a perfect launch with some sticky tires I bet...

You'd have to dyno it to really know...

Scrib the only reason I didnt get an M3 is cause it was just too much of a chore to drive it. The car practically begs you to race it and whip around the turns. The clk was just a sit back and relax car similar to my 02' cl-s but that cost a lot more. :

I test drove the Porsche and the one that I wanted with all the features I wanted cost around $80K out the door and used they were still in the $60K....not only that but the car is very small inside similar to the S2000

E55 is calling your name, but I would get a nice stereo installed on that CLK, cause at least it would be something you could use everyday.
