not happening buddy.
kleeman kit is 10k and you get 280hp. rather get a engine swap from a c32 for that price and there are many more performance options for that because it has a kompressor engine.

Mercedes CLK 320 W209
Still not worth the money though, 10k$+~3k$install.
But the SC is no longer available for the 320.

I'd avoid the SL unless you buy a new one. I was actually looking at an SL500 or SL55 before I bought the CLK. After some research, I found that the reason there are so many good deals on 4-5 year old SL's with 50-70K miles is because that's when the Active Body Control systems starts to fail. I don't mind doing my own work, but when I found that just the parts can run into the $1,000's, I was fine with the idea of a rag top CLK!
If the V6 CLK just isn't doing it for you, then my advice would be to trade up to a CLK500 or CLK550. Just make sure if you go with the 550, you check the engine serial number and get one that is not subject to the "balance shaft" problems (yeah, I know on the V8, it's not the balance shaft, just the timing gear on the crank, but it's the same failure). That is, unless you get such a good deal you don't mind paying for that fix.

retrofitting a kompressor from a c32 huh?
interesting. taking a stab in the dark but im sure the compression is different as well as the internals. im sure it might be possible but you wont get the maximum power output from your car without a massive tune.
also, think about the cost of the retrofit vs taking the whole engine block from a c32 and putting it on.

well i actually have a friend who might be able to get a used one to me for about a thousand, plus any other parts and install i would guess is another thousand. If this can get done for about 2k I would be so down to do it right now. Wouldnt a new engine block be around 10k?
