SL500 Kleemann Kompressor Upgrade
I am seriously thinking of upgrading my SL500 with the Kleemann's kompressor kit including camshafts & headers . Has anyone done it? Is it reliable enough? Here are some pictures of my car.

This is just my two pennies worth:
For the cost of the supercharger and install, you can get a nice used C5 Z06 Corvette. (3000 pounds)
Even stock, the Vette will be faster, handle better, and you'll recoup much more of your $$$ down the road if you get tired of it. Adding the supercharger to your car does nothing (or very little) for resale value.
Why people spend big $$$ to soup up a 4200 pound car is beyond me![nix](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif)
I have both and its a nice choice to make each day.
Flamesuit is on, because I know this opinion will draw fire...
