A blower. Nothing else even comes close as far as dollar/performance. You can get 400+ HP from the 4.3 without reliability issues.

No doubt force induction on a mercedes is the ultimate combination of extreme power and total luxury. HP per dollar, HPS's new intercooled intake supercharger is choice! Find a service advisor and tech that's willing to work with you, I get my car service under warranty despite having a blower.

Not much of anything is warranty friendly, but HPS offers an aftermarket warranty that covers your drivetrain. I havent heard of many problems with blower cars regardless of who's kit you use, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Probably have more trouble with tickets.
