Just do the supercharger ... not the cams.

car currently has over 410hp RWHP I think it was around 430-450 rwtq I forgot. I think I posted the numbers earlier somewhere.

Pretty much take your crank hp and convert it to RWHP and add a little more.

Btw over 35k miles on the supercharger and running strong.

Renntech's kit is more expensive than Kleemanns and you would need to get a price check(call them). The Kleemann kits are on sale right now for dirt cheap.

I am in the process of contacting AMG, although I suspect there might be one or two cars for sale in Asia. Anyone seen any for sale?

Are you prepare to buy a Black Series or UEA from Asia?

If Black Series, want to buy mine?

Hi, Just picking up on my old post.
Has anyone seen an SLK Black for sale in the UK recently. Would be interesting to see what the prices are like. Have seen a normal high mileage SLK 55 recently at a low price. So it got me thinking again, oh dear, about stripping one down for track days like I did with a previous CLK55. The weight loss would not be as great, but it will make a difference. Has anyone done this on here? I would like to fix the roof and install a roll cage etc. Problems come with electrics being disabled on these cars and I would need help with that area. The Asia Cup is attractive, are any floating round on the market?
Thoughts welcome.
