Performance question for all the gurus.

Sometime ago I posted that I want to supercharge my 02 E320. I did it before, about 10 yrs ago, to my 1988 Mustang. What a difference! I found a supercharger from Vortech that would work, however all the ancillary equipment was hard to come by. I couldn't find any information on injectors, fmu and air flow sensors. I have since abandoned this idea and I am still looking for what will increase the 6 cyl power.

Has anyone found good horsepower adder for the 6 cyl version of the E Class? Other than Brabus... I can't seem to find anything for the E320. It is because most E320 owners do not mod this car? Everyone here seems to cosmetically change the look, but what about HP increases?

There is also Kleemann.....


231 KW / 314 BHP - at 5800 rpm
441 NM - from 2000 rpm
Kleemann Site

Also underdrive pulleys and chip tuning will give you more punch, if desired.
