SLK55 AMG - Renntech Supercharged
Anyone running a Renntech SC on a NA engine?

I might be buying a Renntech supercharger for my '07 SLK55, and I'm trying to figure out what all I need to get it going. I read the Renntech installation instructions, but there's no mention of fueling whatsoever. Anyway, what have you guys done to keep the AF under control?

In the Market
Any particular reason you're considering the RennTech versus a Kleemann? Seems like Kleemann's the supercharger of choice among SLK55 owners, with several build threads and pre- versus post-opinions to be found.

i have a friend with a slk with the Renntech supercharger. he has it on his car for over 10 years now and still running strong with no problems. as far as i know hes using E55 injectors with factory fuel pump. or you can always try a different route that least people take, like i did.

Thanks for the info. Renntech is in no rush to help me out, so you just did me a big solid.

I picked up the Kenne Bell (Renntech) for a ridiculous price, so that's what I went with. Also, the Kleemann unit is very efficient, and is likely only just running less boost. I'll install a smaller pulley and larger pump soon if I get motivated. I also intend to add a little nitrous to the mix, but we'll see.
