Kleemaan Supercharger E-500

Has anyone seen or heard of any real world performance of Kleemann supercharger for E500???

How is this setup compared to a stock E55 performance wise? Called Kleemann today and they quoted me the price for the upgrade. Promised at least 500hp but couldn't provide the torque figure in lb. ft.

I wonder how this product compares to say Carlsson or Renntech. What do you guys think? My brother just bought an 05 E55 and I love driving it, the torque band is awesome to insane. After driving his car, my E500 feels like a Camry (no disrespect to Camry) but honestly, I got the torque bug-bite and the only way to satisfy it is to do something to my ride. I am seriously thinking about it.

Pros: Powerful, awesome torque, night-and-day difference.

Cons: Voided warranty, software (engine/trans) was not perfected yet (at the time), cost.

Recommendation: sell the E500 and get the E55.

I can only say that you will NOT regret converting your car to a Kleemann E50K.

I drove one the other day and the E55 is no way near the E50K when it comes to power and driving plessure in general.

My advise would without any doubt be to have your E500 converted to a E50K ...

You will not regret it and you will outrun your brother's E55 with your eyes closed
