Hello w203 amg fans,

I have the opportunity of adding a supercharger on my 5.8 engine should I do it?

In theory I am assuming I will also need to install a good LSD for traction?

To give you a few info about my car it has 120'000 miles but the engine "only" 50'000 miles due to the overall and increase displacement ... suspension system same thing since I installed Bilstein Coil-overs.

The goal at the end is to make my c55 like new so spending a little more to change parts is ok since I love this Benz

Please let me know what you guys think

What supercharger? Roots, twin screw or centrifugal, oem or aftermarket? I presume it is a m113 block?

I seen some videos on YouTube showing C55s with 600hp, but I'm not sure if they had the stock transmission or modified. Does anyone know how much power can the stock transmission take?

Pretty sure the transmission could easily handle 600HP... it's designed to handle well over 700 as it's backed up the majority of V12s Mercedes has put out.

We have a slightly less intense version of the 722.6 found in the 55k and V12 cars rated to 1000Nm from my understanding. It should take just about whatever you throw at it.
