Kleeman Questions?

so i've been asking around about the kleeman supercharger and numerous people are telling me it's a bunch of headaches. too many people have problems with em, i'd like to hear from an actual kleeman owner before purchasing. i'm wondering on reliability, maintnance, and power, do you feel a noticable difference. also what about dyno's anyone outthere have a before and after. please let me know

All that money for 54 hp is not worth it at all... Part your car out and get the AMG.

Go to Wiseco and re-build the engine with shorter rods and get some extra displacement at a higher compression ration and then go out and smoke C32s.

actually the Kleemann charger is moreso around 100 hp. And They are reliable if you get the newer ones with the electronic water pump. The issue that I had was the older mechanical water pump failed and I had to get that updated.
