About to get the underdrive pullies installed... a few questions...

for those who have them, the evosport website claims 30HP increases for the C32's and SLK32's, how much HP should I expect on a 2000 CLK430? Thanks!

Our pulleys for the C32/SLK32 are not underdrive pulleys. They raise the boost of the stock superchargers, and thus come up with awesome gains.

Our underdrive pulleys produce 13hp at the wheels, and are available for any naturally-aspirated Mercedes V6/V8 engine from 1998 and on.

Thanks,
Ben

15hp for approximately $2500. I would do the pulleys first, since they are 13hp for $449

Ben, with the pulleys from Evosport, do you think the technician at the dealership might be able to install it?

Thanks,

Any responsible mechanic can install them. Just remember that a special puller is required for one of the pulleys not every shop has one. Other then that it's a couple hour install.

Yep.

If the dealership does not know how to install them, I would find a different dealership.
