Supercharged C280?

I was searching through the fourms and didn't find anything on supercharging C280s. I know that Kleeman sells a supercharger for the C280, but if I'm going to spend that much, I might as well buy an old C36.
Are there other less expensive supercharger solutions? I heard of some guy once installing an Eaton E62 Roots style supercharger on his C280, but I don't have any other information on that. All I'm really looking for is some serious HP/torque gain for small(er) $$$$.

Nitrous would be nice, but I'm looking for more low-end power. Plus, people would think I'm a rice boy if I say my first mod was NAWWS.

supercharge it... turbo's are too involved and need custom fabrication. if youre looking to save money, find a supercharger that is straight bolt on...doesnt need to be one of the big names...
