What would be the best choice for S/C?
RT? Kleemann? HPS? or AMG 55K Motor Swap?
I am seriously thinking about putting 55K Motor in CLK which will make it a rocket. But I do not know what is necesary for this conversion in detail.
Best regards,

AMG55k motor swap will be too much wrk. You would need the engine harness,run extra cooling lines and you need an extra radiator for the kompressor. You would be better off just going with Kleeman.

Why Kleemann only? I wanna test out other brands as well since Renntech offers warranty on its products and engine+tranmission on a document.

what about warranty as your engine and transmission are modded already 
Renntech is good i think, but still Kleeman is "above to the others" if we are talking about superchargers.

From reading this and other sites I see that the Kleenmann product has more than a few happy owners, but I still wonder how well the N/A 55 cars manage to dissapate the heat generated by the compression and all that extra fuel being burned, when they were not designed to do that in the first place.
I understand that extra oil and tranmission coolers are not part of the Kleemann conversion. Our cars do not have oil or tranny temperature guages. Sounds a bit dangerous. Any comments?
The answer might depend on what one plans to do --or can do-- with the car. in my case, slamming down the autobahn at 175 mph or lapping mere mortals at the track will not be my usual MO. But it MIGHT happen, even if I'm really looking for that extra shove at the next stop light.
As for RennTech, they have a good reputation for engineering and quality but for S/Cs they sell less 'bang for the buck' then Kleemann. Then again, from what I have read, unless you go widebody with monster meat out back the chassis will not be able to make much use out of the additional power in most any situation.

haters crazy
I've driven a kleemann CLK55 and I love it! Street tires are a no no on the car though. You'll just spin your wheels if you punch it. Its a night and day difference between a stock clk55 and a kleemann. They also have AMAZING customer service.
