HPS supercharger
Anyone have any experience or feedback on HPS superchargers? It is cheap 6-7k and they claim no problems. Also they claim 379.64 HP, 392.17 Ft.-lbs Torque on my E430.

vast #s of W210 V6 owners searching for an economical rewarding solution to increase power significantly...It does surprise me that HPS has yet to develop a system. I do anticipate other force induction system's at comparable price to soon be release, one being sometime in March.
Many W210 owners indeed may agree that they want a performance car that is luxurious and comfortable when casually driving, but also want their car to take on a sports car's persona when indulged in spirited driving.
I only hope the performance market continues to expand for the W210...and not become inferior to newer model vehicles including MBZ.

I wonder if they have any commentary on how the rest of the drivetrain holds up to the increased power. And any performance numbers (0-60MPH, 1/4 mile, 50-70MPH time). Not that people intend to drag race these cars, but it would be nice to further quantify the improvements vs. stock.

What is the reliability of these kits with respect to the transmission and other drivetrain components? I wonder how the rest of the drivetrain would hold up under real-world conditions.
Also, does this kit effect being able to pass emissions?

The test vehicle I drove was using the standard stock setup...I noticed immediately upgrades to the suspension & stickier rubber is much needed to harness the power better off the line after several runs...Rush of mid-range power is there, 60-100mph is instantaneous that you have little time to react to oncoming traffic...It's just the whine I can do without.
