AMG Supercharger in my CLK55
As promised here is a pic. Tuning is still being worked out. New software, colder plugs, etc. are still needed before posting any dyno #'s.

4 wheeled car.
wow!!! crazy!! Who did the brakes? Not that I care anymore since I went the brembo route, but these are indeed W211 E55 rotors and calipers correct? TWS was being shady and wouldn't tell me whether it was that (which I'm 99.99999% sure it is) and was trying to hint that it could be from the SL (the rotors). Whatever, I just wanted them on my car and have them do the necessary customization/fitting. You'd think after 5 personal Mercedes with at least wheels tires and suspension on each plus countless other referrals, that at least I'd get that kind of intel so I could go forth w/ the project. Ok, so I went off on a rant... lol
Who did your s/c? How does it feel so far? Hard? Easy? Cost? PM me if you want, rather than posting.

That's hott. No one can touch you in that beast! Do you only have one air intake now? Where did you get the supercharger and which model was it off of? How long did it take? thanks

Dan,
That is just an awsome setup and you seriously need to bring that beast to the Oct 15th meet! If you want i'll even drive it for you if you want to bring the SMART!

Yes the rotors and calipers are off the w211 E55. It took about 2 days to get done by TWS. The only downside I see so far is a slightly longer pedal (as expected), and heavier rotors.

But Steve, I know youre notorious for those Jedi mind tricks.
Everyone else, what engine cover do you think I could use to make it look better?
Richard had this on his E-class.

Greetings Dan,
I received your PM...response sent.
Your mods look outstanding
I'm particularly interested to know who's tuning your FI application, this is the most critical part.
I have to agree with James, CF would be a nice finishing touch...I can forward you the contact info of someone who does work for Brabus, he's in Northern Cal.
Enjoy the ride!!!
