Mark Cummins works for HPS and has a Kleemann Supercharger in his W211. This guy is a clown!!
Edit: actually I was told that Mark Cummins is running 900WHP ont he W211 with both an HPS supercharger, and a GTRS turbo setup. I heard more about hairstylists at HPS and such but I don't know the full story.

Hot off the press...........details....... HPS, and brain child Jim at Mechtech figured out how to fix the problem.
1. Attach a leaf blower to the intake pipe, and plug the electrical portion in the cigarette lighter. This will fix the boost problem.
2. To fix the fuel, the remedy was to drill a 1/2 inch hole just past the throttle body and have the passenger dispense fuel from a gas can via a garden hose.
3. The good news is that all the above fixes can be bought at your local Home Depot.
This should also fix the "Dyno Shim-Sham" controversy. Stay tuned details are flooding in as we type.

Tuning Results Rained Out until Saturday
Guys, I gave them a temporary reprieve since Jesse cannot road tune in the rain. I delivered the car to Adam Thursday morning where they removed the 2.65" pulley and replaced it with the standard 2.85" pulley. They also removed the K&N's thinkin that it also had something to do with the problems.
So basically, all the comps they gave me in exchange for the loaning my car for the Auto Show are gone.
I'm calling Jesse tomorrow morning and going down to see him wrap up the tunning on my car. I will then have it dyno'd and hopefully make it in tme to the Rosebowl meet at 3pm. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

I really wanted to make it but Jesse was still tuning it at around 2pm when I called him to see if I can pick it up. He told me he did'nt run into any problems yet. Unless my tranny falls off or the engine blows within the next week, I may be passing on the torch to a new owner of this thread as I may no longer be the lead story of the HPS saga. 
Stay tuned.....

Update:
Just got off the phone with Jesse. He needs just one more day of tuning. According to him, So far all check engine codes have been cleared. No longer running too rich, No longer MAF faults due to air overflow and no longer Tranny overload caused by the 8lb pulley. He said the hesitation problem dissapeared after tightening a loose ECU plug. I will dyno the car Friday at MechTech when I install the Boost, AFR and EGT guages. He says that the car feels like it is making about the same HP as before but is running smoother and tighter. I'll report on Drivability and HP on Friday evening. This is it guys and gals!

Yeah. I will probably find a dynojet in the OC area. Hopefully I won't have the downshifting problem anymore now that the 8lb pulley has been removed.
