check the kleemann website
www.kleemann.dk
from what the site says the N/A 55 engine at the top mods from kleemann does not make as much power as a S/C 55 engine

These are the number for a N/A 55:
55(N/A)-K1: A Kompressor system and a custom made ECU upgrade. Up to 500 HP and 650 Nm (481 lb-ft) of torque.

55(N/A)-K2: K1 + a set of stainless steel tubular exhaust headers and downpipes. Up to 525 HP and 680 Nm (504 lb-ft) of torque.

55(N/A)-K3: K1 + K2 + super sport camshafts. Up to 540 HP and 700 Nm (518 lb-ft) of torque.

And this is what an AMG S/C 55 does:
55-K1: A custom-made ECU programme and a redesigned crank pulley wheel. Up to 550 HP and 750 Nm (555 lb-ft) of torque.

55-K2: K1 + a set of stainless steel tubular exhaust headers and downpipes with sport cats. Up to 570 HP and 780 Nm (578 lb-ft) of torque.

55-K3: K1 + K2 + super sport camshafts. Up to 600 HP and 835Nm
(618 lb-ft) of torque.

55-K4: K1 + K2 + K3 + a modified inlet house and throttle body.
Up to 620 HP and 900 Nm (664 lb-ft) of torque.

that's sad, better off to sell CLK55 and get used E55 since it will cost much less to do so : )

haters crazy
Depends on what you do to the CLK55. Just the supercharger? I ran 11's when all my car had was Kleemann supercharger, headers, tune, and LSD. If you want to get crazy with it you can go tens (10.66 is the quickest so far) and be quicker than most if not all E55s. Don't forget that the CLK is lighter than the E55 so quoting power numbers doesn't tell the whole story. But the E55 pricing is so low right now that it's very hard to resist

CONGRATS!!!!

I don't venture into the W211/E55 forum much, but looked over there after seeing your results.
