Kleemann Supercharger Installed
Hi guys. Just wanted to share some pics of my recent purchase. I bought a Kleemann supercharger, full kit, with headers. The work was done by Bruce at TT Motorsports in Long Island. Bruce also treated my headers to a white ceramic coating.
The work was done almost 3 weeks ago, and at first I was a little dissapointed with the performance. After the discovery of a major air leak, and a quick fix, my baby is flying.
I am VERY happy with it. I'm trying to get used to this new power. It's simply amazing to feel the rear end of the car pull to the left, as my wheels burn rubber, leaving a cloud of smoke to be devoured by the cars left behind.
The car did 150mph on the highway last night, and it was still pulling me, but thats all I have in me for now, lol!
A dyno was performed (where she did almost 190mph) before fixing the huge leak, but I rather do another dyno to get true numbers. Comming soon.
Thank you Bruce for your hard work, patience and hospitality.
Thank you Oxygen for your technical assistance.
Thank you TurboTom for the Quaif demonstration, and driving me around the town to kill time. LOL!
And, thank you Cory at Kleemann for the constant communication and technical assistance.

So in comparison to the AMG model..are you anywhere near it in terms of speed(specifically torque and quarter mile times). I was just trying to see if it made sense to do this in my case(I know you have a nice full out customized ride so makes sense in your case). Right now there are a quite a few cls55 AMG models in $10,000 range of cls500's(of course amg models come with bigger brakes, better suspension, etc.)

That is awesome, I have been watching your car in threads for awhile and everything you have done is amazing. I know you are too humble for it, but you should poke that cat from before with the AMG that was giving you such a hard time saying how your car looked stock! Hopefully one day you guys might just pull up to the same light together, lol. It seems like you have just about done everything possible, is there anything still on your radar for mods?

the headers are holding up very nicely with the coating so far.

I ended that feud a while ago. Once I get the car running properly, I would love to challenge an AMG car. Some AMG owners are really stuck up, but most are cool and down to earth. I know allot of 500/550 owners, including an NFL football player that lives down the street from me, that buy these cars because they want to, and not because they cant afford the AMG.
The AMG guys act like we are not worthy of posting, and I laugh and defend myself when these guys try to push my buttons. I did't want the AMG car at the time, and it's that simple.
Doing Cams, throttle body, smaller pulley, and LSD next year.
Thanks for the support guys, and I'm still rockin the CLS500 badge. I will never remove it.

khelawanb, you have an amazing machine - congrats on the work!! Interior, engine bay, exterior, and the SC is amazing!
Question - with the added power, did you have to add bigger fuel pump and injectors?
Keep up the good work!
