Powerchip
I'm thinking of going for a performance upgrade. Are there superchargers for the s class other than renntech? I think I've seen one of their's for about $15k and I wasn't looking to spend anything over $10k. My goal is to reach the stock performance of a '03,'04 stock S600. Is this even feasible? Someone please help out as I'm not too familiar with performance upgrades for the S class. I'm even taking the powerchip into consideration. Any advice would be appreciated.

1)Full performance exhaust system at least 1-2k
2)powerchip tuning 1k
3)SC system either Kleemenn or new HPS w/intercooler these prices do not include tax, w/install charges $1500. ea. $8,500-HPS and Kleemann 12,500
You'd have to invest around 15k and you still wouldn't equal S600 performance, but you would be close 0-60 maybe around 5.2 sec - 4.9 if you were lucky...04'S600 Stock is 4.6 sec 0-60 very conservative from what I've heard....
I'm currently waiting on the new HPS system due out in a month I'll tell you how it goes considering, I have allready done the previously mentioned mods IE..Powerchip, + Exhaust just need SuperCharger!!
