After all, there are still hopes for the V6ers since Kleemann and Lorinser Kompressors are not available to the market anymore.

I just got the email today.

"HPS has partnered with Atwood European one of the leaders in the aftermarket community to distribute the HPS supercharger system. Andrew, is part of the team that provided after market software for our vehicles. His professionalism, craftsmanship and knowledge of the product is impressive. Currently, he offers a stage 3 supercharger system kit that generates an excessive of 140 horsepower and torque gains! Kits are available for all 1998 and newer V6 & V8 models.


Atwood European offers engine management and is excited to provide you with the ability to offer a custom-made tune just for your car and your specific modifications. No matter where you may live, you can simply send in your ECU, and a technician will program it with the new calibration based on your specific car.


You can even opt for the “Tuner Module,” which gets you a special box with two maps loaded in. Just hook up to your car’s OBDII port, and select which map you want in your car. This is great for switching between stock and high-performance with the flick of a switch. And it takes just seconds to do!
If you’d prefer, you can have a regular gas and high-octane or race gas map preloaded in the Tuner Module. And if you ever change your mods, just send us back the Tuner Module, and we’ll load a new map that will take advantage of them for no additional cost. If you’re local to California or Arizona, you can get even a more optimized custom dyno tune too!

I'm very interested here, Is there any way I can get more information regarding the v8 2000 e430 4matic, and the mods available for it?

 

a supercharger "kit" for under a thousand dollars? typo perhaps?

 

is for cheap do nothing chip mods and the like. A grand for 12hp is pretty sad.
Supercharger and intercooler is going to run well over 5k and for that plus the old car you could have a nice solid E55.

There are two parts to the email. The first part is about the supercharger. The second part is about the ECU tuning around $1000. I am pretty sure the supercharger is going to cost more than $5K like ohlord said.

 

The tuning is worthwhile on the turbo models. Less so on the S/C models, unless combined with a pulley. Not really on the N/A models.

As mentioned, it's generally much cheaper to sell the vehicle and upgrade to one that's forced induction.
