Help w/ Mosellman, HPS, or Kleeman SUPERCHARGERS

Does anyone know of a shop in the bay area, CA that carries any of these 3 lines? I'm having a hell of a time finding performance shops that carry these products, AND install it on my 430. I did find one place in Burlingame that carries the Kleeman Set-up for $13,900 installed which I think is FULL retail PLUS 3000 for labor. That is too much. Any help will be appreciated.

Have you talked to Ben? He can get you the Kleemann s/c for 11K and then labor is only 1500$, it's only like four or five hours south, so the first time you go, it'll take like 3 hours, and then on the way back with the s/c, maybe an hour tops

Errata: HPS sucks ***, don't stoop to a low level, you have a Mercedes, not a bicycle.

it's gonna end up the same price, cuz their $13,900 was out the door installed. If i buy it from Ben, i'd have to pay tax on the 11k, which is pretty much gonna be 12K plus 1500 for labor, plus the driving. I'm trying to find a shop that will give some sort of discount.

true...it's a mercedes, however, I don't feel that spending over 50% of the car's value just to put a supercharger in makes sense. If I had a new SL or CL or CLK, it would make sense. My car is probably worth 24-25K at best now.

But you sure can't sell it, why not make the most out of it? The Kleemann supercharger is fast, and it's reliable, quite a few guys here have thousands of miles on it with less problems then my dads SL that's bone stock!

And also, the Kleemann supercharger was once $17,000 so now you'd be sure your getting the best deal, trust me, this isn't some mod, this is almost like getting a new car!
