Yes. You can supercharge the 3.2L V6. Check out Kleeman.

Here is their website:

ECU upgrade: POWERCHIP or RENNtech
Supercharger: KLEEMAN, CARLSSON, BRABUS, RENNtech, AMG
Under-Drive Pulley kits: evosport
Headers & Exhaust: evosport, AMG, etc...
Air intake: CF air boxes, GREEN filters, etc...

however much money you want to throw at it, the possibilities are there for you !


Let us know what you decide to do.

............this is by far the best advice you've gotten so far. To get your C320 to perform like a C32, you will spend way much more money than it will cost to acquire a C32. And even then, it may never reach the performance of a C32.

Probably right. At the prices Kleemann charges, you most likely could trade up for the same money or less. They do make about the same HP, but you still won't have the better brakes, suspension, or body work of the AMG.

Makes a bit more than 150 additional rwhp at 8psi peak boost on a 4.3L v8. Not sure what the exact gains are on a V6, but I'm sure HoP can give more specific info.

Half the price of Kleeman? Sounds pretty good. Your V8 engine looks a lot like pudgy's engine, especially with all the chrome plating. Josk K, would you say 100 rwhp gain is possible on the V6 as a conservative figure with the Vortech supercharger.

I'm kinda scared to mod my car anymore since California lawmakers are cracking down on modified cars. Oh well, no supercharger for me.
