pretty straight forward post .... wondering if 530ish whp & tq with a nice powerband that pulls all the way through is reasonable to expect on an fbo cl55 (2006) . this would be with 72mm pulley & belt wrap kit, mbh longtubes, full catback, killer chiller & aftermarket heat exchanger, upgraded injectors & fuel pump, & of course either a dyno tune or eurocharged tune or oe tune. just haven't seen any newer/recent numbers posted for this or a very similar setup. if the most this setup would yield me is under 520whp/520wtq, then i'd be inclined to just wait & get the weistec supercharger. ..... honestly, i'm looking to kill some of these fbo 3.0tt q50's that are out here and if ya aint in the know most all of them with an ecutek tune and bolt ons are leaving any stock cl or e55.

......so everyone just rolls around stock these days huh? Guess times have changed. But anyhow, anyone that has (not speculators that know friends of friends) and is running a current 530ish plus whp setup please chime in and lemme know thanks.

There isn't going to be many responses unfortunately because the platform is Ancient. And in terms of the buyers and modders of Mercedes in general its the first owners / Second owners who generally put the money up and get them modded.

Also now that the cars are in the 10k range often the vehicles are needing more in repairs due neglected maintenance than the car cost the buyers to begin with.

But buying the Wiestec supercharger makes more sense if you have a clean vehicle and wanting to make more power. The fsctory supercharger runs way to hot and over spinning it makes it far worse.

Plenty available on the subject with the search feature in the 211 E55 forum. As I recall, the ones that switched superchargers were not happy with the results.

Yes you can do that with those mods, google a bit and you can find older videos
