Supercharged SLS, counting the days! How much power?
Well the wife finally convinced me to buy the Kleemann supercharger kit. Will be installed first week of Feb! Car has Supersprint long tubes with no cats, X pipe, and BMC filters. Lets takes guesses on wheel hp. I have no clue and will go crazy the next couple weeks while i wait.

My two cents would be to go with a Weistec system. Weistec has sold hundreds(if not over a thousand) blowers for these M156&M159 6.2L motors. They were the first to offer a blower for the M156 and M159 motors, literally years before their competition(i use that term loosely) had an offering. All of their product is thoroughly road and track tested for months or years before it's released to the masses. They built the worlds fastest Mercedes and Weistec powered cars are at the top of every list whether you are talking big dyno numbers, top speed and airstrip events and drag racing, there is not a tuner in the world that can match the performance of the Weistec cars. They are a US based company owned and run by fellow enthusiest and they stand behind their product. Most importantly their systems are safe, anyone can make(or claim to make) big power but doing it safely is very important especially when you are talking about a $50k+ motor and transmission.
Kleemann is in my back yard, so they will install and I can drive down the road to Kleemann USA if I have a problem. Kleemann has done my tune, before and after the headers and I was very happy. Cory has been extremely professional in the past with me. I have worked with many shops and many performance companies in the past, everything from built hot rods, 1200 hp Corvettes, GT-R, Lotus, and Porsche's and I can tell you these guys give me more confidence than any other place I have been. They never claim to have the fastest SLS, but I do believe it will be the most reliable. I have 1000 hp 911 turbo that will always be faster than my SLS anyway. Max power is not my goal, a lot of fun and reliable is what I'm after.

Now if things go south I will eat these words!
I've had four Weistec blowers, all proven VERY dependable. Weistec built me a 1400hp monster. Enjoy your newfound power as you know the SLS is a great car, the extra power is just icing on the cake.
I have 3 weistec blowers and 1 kleeman one, all running for years. There is no way to discern the difference between the two in my opinion. You will be very happy and i estamate 700hp+ at crank with the headers and no cats.
Will be insane, enjoy!
