whats expected of kleemann kit
I recently purchased the kleemann kit with headers for my m271 I already have k&n filter and denso spark plugs. How much horse power am i looking at getting. I also am putting on a turbo in the future and running it with my super charger i have a guy in new york who does great custom turbos who already did the research on the car and wants to start working on it after the new years any suggestions

The Kleemann kit for the M271 should get you a solid 10HP, add the exhaust probably adds another 10HP. I've heard of 300HP from turbo kits on the old M111 motor so that's possible especially if you use the s/c boost to spool up a larger turbo quicker. They are doing more and more inline turbos (small turbo feeding a larger turbo), to reduce lag time so it makes sense to keep the s/c for the very same reason.
The auto trans would handle it, afterall it's the same one in the C32. The 6-speed won't, it's clutch will get fried in a short time if you actually use that sort of power.

I drove the blue turbo m111 when the guy had it in my area-- i could not keep the 265/40/18s on the road at half boost--it would smoke the tires in 3rd gear-- nice car--lots of power-- the clutch was replaced only once that i know of but it was not used with the boost that high up on a daily basis
