I thought you can bolt on the E55's blower to the C55 motor since they all have the same 5.4L motor?

You'll need to shove in intercoolers and whatnot too.

While the block is the same, the E55 motor configured with a lower compression ratio 9.0:1 thus the AMG blower can run at max boost of 11.6psi per the AMG product manual. The C55 CR is 11.0:1, you'll probably blow something in the engine if you run 11.6psi of boost. As mentioned, Kleeman offers a supercharger kit which runs around 7psi I think. A few people have already done this.
