If that were the case, then why is this brand new kit selling for such a low price?
I have another thread on my build that you can follow. Almost done but it does take some time to completely build a custom engine that will yield 700hp and set the new Mercedes drag time record if all goes well.

How about the MP112 Gen 5 ? HPS quoted me today at total pakg with Mechtech at $7500 ..... is that right price ? and they claim 450HP .... is that posible for a W211 E500 ? believe its a M113 engine....

You should get about 100 hp with the kit. Make sure Mechtech does a before/after dyno. So you can see how much more horsepower you got. If they will do that and for $7500. I would buy it. You can also ask Mechtech for any services to.

I agree that $7500 for 100HP is not worth it..... if my car can gain 150Hp
305HP + 150HP = 455HP for $7500, I will do it without thinking.
The problem with Kleemann is not $4k more ! I called and they sent me a quotation for K1 pkg (Supercharger + ECU) = $13k !!!
When they quote me $13k I just gave up in upgrade my car.....
Sell my car at $15k and buy a 2005 E55 AMG at $25K
Only for $10K more and I can get even more HP and torque at 516.
Plus, its a E55 (comes with body kits, Quadexhaust, AMG AirBox) thats why I think Kleemann is kinda over priced for this kind of upgrade.
