HPS superchargers?

Anyone here have them installed or anything? First time I heard of this company. Check it out yourself.

They claim it will give you a gain of roughly 150 hp and 150 lb-ft tq all for around under 10k.

They've had a pretty bad time presenting themselves in the past. I'm sure their GEN II is better as thericker can say.

BTW is this for your S430? Because this (the E55 forum) is the wrong place to post for information on the car. I'm going to move this to Performance and Tuning.

My bad, I'd just thought with all the tuners in the E55 forum, someone might have an answer. Sorry again.

But that won't gain you a lot, since HPS tried to get all their posts deleted.

how many miles did you have on your car when you installed it?

Is there a point in your cars age/mileage when puttin a supercharger will just do it more harm than good?

I am soon to purchase a kit from them and they have been helpful. Andy the sales guy has been awesome. I explained what I want to accomplish with my car and he has even directed me to some other parts that would be beneficial from guys that do custom fabrication. They have also been on the ball with any information I have asked for.
