W209 CLK55 kompressor vs??
I'm just wondering, I have a w209 55 kleemann kompressor. It's pretty quick and torquey, but it's heavy due to it being a vert. I also have a bone stock E55. Somehow the E55 seems much faster, but non the less both cars are bad ***. Since I can race myself, I'm just wondering any boost NA55 AMG kill stories, please share...

If you boost a high compression engine expect bad things to happen.
The NA55 is a compression engine so boost is applied in moderation. Tuning to the maximum allowable boost would push the engine to low level of reliability and streetability.
To gain the performance level from the E55k to a NA55 will take some careful engineering.
Your Wiestec SC has the potential but are you willing to gamble with reliability and a few days of thrills.
Tuning intake air, Exhaust should wake it up a bit plus close contact with Wiestec or others might change curiosity.
