Exclamation Just got off the phone with Kleeman in Colorado (610h.p. 2003 CL55!!!!)

Ok, well I just got off the phone with Kleeman Headquarters in Colorado Springs. I asked him about upgrading my 2003 CL55 that will be arriving in a few short months and if they were planning any upgrades for the car. Well, they are. Replacing the whole supercharger unit and he says they have a prototype on a SL55 in Denmark right now that has 610h.p.!!! He told me Mercedes' supercharger is very inefficient and the engine is very capable of more power without any risk of harming it.


How much is still being determined. Its going to be arriving in January though.

E55 AMG
Awesome!!! Boy that Kleemann supercharger looks more and more tempting. It seems they have also changed their color scheme to be silver "Kleemann" letters on black in some cases. I like that much better than the hot pink color scheme they had before. Can you imagine the look of a w211 E55 owner or a next gen M5 owner, when a Kleemann supercharged w210 E55 blows 'em away??

Go into "kill stories" and read the part about Dave in his blaaaaack Subaru-------it seems that no metter how many horses you put in you Benz----dave will blow your two doors of your car as he did to Mr. Colorado Kleemann himself.

That post was irrelevant, Kleemann had a CLK 43K. This thread is about the CL55, E55, S55. I am pretty sure 607hp will out match even ferraris, forget subaru's.

It depends on your car, a super charger for an E320 is half the price than for an E55, being 7,300 bucks and $16,000 buck respectively, plus about $ 3 or $4k for installation.
