KLEEMANN blower cost for a CLK-430?????

Does anyone know what a blower would run for a 2000 CLK-430? I keep hearing about them and how fast the cars go but no one has ever posted costs. Also where would I have to go to get one as I am in the Northern VA area and assume there are only a few places in the country that sells and installs them.

The s/c kit will run you $11k plus install. Install would depend on your dealer. Click here. for your authorized kleemann dealer. Do it! It's worth every penny!

Yikes,
I did not think it was that much. Better off to sell my 430 and get a 55 could do that for much less.

Thats how I think. Too bad I already put too much money into my 430. Wish I waited and got the 55! Since ur in NOVA you should come to our DC area meets. One of the guys has a kleemann CLK430 and I gotta admit his ride is SICKKK!!!!!!

I have had the Kleemann S/C for about 40,000 miles on my car, they used to be more expensive before. I would do it all over again. They are the best after market company around, and after more than 4 years they still are always there to help me out with any questions, or problems.

You should talk to joshk about the HoP S/C. It puts out more RWHP than a clk55. Although you would need to install it on your own, since it's in CA. I'm sure the Kleeman supercharger would make your car faster. A clk55 puts out about 350-360 hp...I'm sure the kleeman kit would get you at least 100 more hp. Anyone else know the numbers? Am i Wrong?

My HoP kit gave me a 130 rwhp increase (from 215 to 345). This is about the same increase as a Kleemann. SLVRBLT's car put out more power than mine, but he's also running headers, different cams and a significantly freer flowing (and burlier sounding ) exhaust. The Kleemann system isn't cheap but if you want a positive displacement supercharger vs. a centrifugal, they're the only quality way to go.

Josh,

What is SLVRBLT's rwhp? Have you guys tried doing a test(race)? If so what was the outcome?

I'll hold off on giving out someone else's number's until he gives them himself or the work is finished :0) Haven't raced yet because the car's still being worked on. Apparently, whoever installed the Kleemann before did a...less than acceptable job. I'll let SLVRBLT elaborate if he'd like ;0)
