Mabye because KLEEMANN is in Europe, and all MB cars have a higher factory performance in Europe because of different ECU settings, so the 55 comes with 367 HP.

Unbelievable what you can use 300 years experience to at HPS.

Why do you keep avoiding any posts about Timsters car? I would like to know what happened rather than have my post above go completely ignored. If you cannot comment about it at this time, I fully understand, however I would atleast appreciate a response.

Also, you should correct to countless spelling errors on your FAQ page.

Exactly how long has your company been producing sueprchargers for MB? KLEEMANN has been doing it for 15 years. It's obvious you have some knowledge about MB, but not enough to call yourself an expert. KLEEMANN was offering kompressor systems for the modular V6 even before AMG was.

To answer your question- the KLEEMANN website is maintained by KLEEMANN Denmark. The E55's in Europe are rated at 367. Euorpe always seems to enjoy the higher power cars. What's your point? If you want to get into a debate about website accuracy, why does your site quote $9995 for an E55 supercharger and an additional 1500 for installation when you have been telling everyone that the price is $9950 installed. Which is it? Are you running a special for MBWorld members? Explain to me why you have the E55 rated at "up to 466 horsepower" and the CLK55 (same exact engine) is rated at "up to 455 horespower." A 2 degree temp. variance doesn't equate to 10 HP, so I know it isn't that. Anyway, how 'bout we get back to the orginal topic eh?

Guys,

This thread is now closed.

This was to be a thread about a fun get together, not a real "fight" as the title might suggest.

This was not a thread for people as well as HPS and Kleemann to attack each other.

I am going to start four new threads:

1. Discussion of pros and cons of Kleemann compressor

2. Discussion of pros and cons of HPS compressor

3. Discussion of pros and cons of ESS compressor

4. Discussion of pros and cons of Lorinsor compressor

Please use those threads to PROACTIVELY, PROFESSIONALLY and ETHICALLY discuss the aftermarket S/C options.

Thanks

Brad
