kleeman supercharger,ecu,exhaust will put you at over $15k in mods. i'm in the same boat with my 02 cl55. not worth the the money to mod it. sell it an upgrade to a 03 cl55 or 600.

A supercharger upgrade is big bucks, unless you can get a smokin deal or find someone selling a "slightly" used one, but you always have to be extremely cautious with that. I am not exactly sure what other differences there are between the 03 cl55 and the 02 cl55 when they fitted the supercharger, but my guess is that they beefed up several other engine components in order to handle the big jump in horsepower and torque. I am not sure if it is the same transmission as well.... you would not want to do a 10k or 15k supercharger upgrade, punch it once, and blow something up. On the other hand, there may not be that much of a difference.... something to look into definitely if you want to go that route. It depends what your budget is. But if you are talking about that much money for an upgrade, I think it would be a much wiser option to sell the 02 and get an 03. I always rather have the car come that way from the dealer with such a major performance upgrade like that. For me, at least, I would have quite a bit more piece of mind.... but its always fun to have something a little different and unusual, but risky as well.
