I don't think you can put another supercharger on top of the AMG supercharger. However Pulley, exhaust and ECU upgrade should easily bring you 400 HP at the crank.
Do a search on the board and you will find lots of information about tuning.
Keep in mind that not all C32 come with the same HP from the factory. Some have 300 HP at the weel, mine had 279 and some had even less. So to know how much you are gaining you should really know how much HP you have before doing any mods.

You cannot use a KLEEMANN supercharger on topof the AMG unit and it makes no sense to replace the existing unit. KLEEMANN has a pulley and ECU upgrade combination that can easily push you over the 400 crank HP mark.
Our system is typically raising hp by 45 to 50 and tq by 55 to 60, $3500.
You should test the car before and modifications to see where you are- we have seen C32's vary a great deal in the power they make from the factory.

And if your C32 dyno's low don't sweat it - I read where a guy from AMG says that all AMG motors meet the specified rating and the others are as much as 5 percent more. So if we beleive this then all motors make 349hp and some as much as 366hp.
I personally am not going to beleive the outcome of anymore of these C32 dyno's. I have seen to many inconsistencies with the same car. It seems the heat soak in the intercooler and the ECU retarding timing geatly affect the outcome.

Sure AMG can make this comments ... who is gonna take out the entire engine and test the HP on the crank ! But then again who cares what comes out of the crank when you need the power on the wheels !
Sure there may be some heat related issues but ask the Evosport guys ... they have tested and retested for the OPDS R&D. They will tell you that there are HP differences regardless of heat soaking or any other factors.

The HP numbers vary from C32 to C32. I fthe car has not been driven hard, in some case doing several runs in a row will pick up as much as 20HP as DME adapts to WOT runs.
This was the case with Tim as his car did not fully adapt to ODPS.
The cars that are low today will still be low 10 days from now. I fthe same testing procedure is used the results are very repeatable.
For optimum results, doing before dyno is always recommended.

I know there is 1 Arab guy who had in done and got about 500 HP. Do a search on internet and you will find it.
However I must disappoint you because it was a one time installation. In fact I talked to the engineer that designed the whole installation a couple of weeks ago (MKB guy). The car works, but due to its extremely complex mods the car is not your daily driver anymore ...
