There's already one out there, made by Comptech. Unfortunately they are shutting down due to low sales.

Low sales/demand and personally, for $4,000 I'd expect more than approximately 50whp gain. With our cars, I'd recommend a custom turbo set up. If you don't want the turbo lag, go with 2 small twin turbos, I'm sure it could be fabricated.

$3500 or $4k for just 50hp is highway robbery.......no wonder why they're closing shop.

A cheap pulley upgrade got me over 280whp (a gain of about 80whp over a stock CLS) on my '01 Auto CLS. Good enough for low 13's in the 1/4. The 6-spds were routinely getting over 300whp.

My Magnuson supercharger for the CTS-V cost almost $8k installed, so the $4k for the Comptech was quite reasonably priced if you ask me!

ouch! hopefully those guys don't go out of business with such a high price and leaves you out to dry when it comes to your warranty.
