Agreed, but exactly what about Vadims posts lead you to believe this project would be undertaken without "running the numbers" ? That seems like common sense to me...especially with GMG's reputation and with most any tuner that starts tweaking high dollar vehicles. I wasn't aware that there was any other way except the RIGHT way.

A less expensive way to lower the compression ratio is to use a thicker cylinder head gasket. I used one on my m3 turbo for a long time and it worked great. It provided just enough safety to run lowboost on a high compression motor. Obviously the best way to go is pistons. However, the cost goes thru the roof.

Oh, and yes there are ways other than the right way!! You can dump fuel in the a/f and make it super rich. You can use a thicker head gasket. You can run higher octane (technically, I guess this is a right way, but then not very practical). You can mount the supercharger on the side of the engine to avoid having to do a custom manifold. Lots of things and unfortunately high end tuners aren't immune. I don't know Vadim, but was reacting to the idea of putting a twin screw on a 11.3:1 CR engine.

Vadim:
I am interested but with some caveats because I would only do it if its done the right way - which is very hard. I have done a custom twin screw before and that is definitely the right choice for this big engine (don't even think about a centrifigal or turbo with this size engine). 700+ whp (dyno) is very realistic and would be worth $10-15K grand (my estimate of end cost in volume with pistons, supercharger, manifold and tune). Install is probably another 2-3K. Yes, expensive but so is the car.
So, here is what I want to see and why:
1) You have to get low comp pistons made or else the project isn't worth it. At 11:1, you have no breathing room. Sure, you can try to stay safe by limiting boost to 3-4 pounds, but even then you will have to detune the engine (to make the a/f pig rich to avoid blowing the engine). Maybe you get 70, maybe not; but I promise you the detuning required will kill gas mileage and your torque curve will look bad. And you may blow a few engines before you get it right - a very expensive R&D project. In any event, with this compression and a supercharger, the car will not perform the way it was intended to across the entire curve. Low comp pistons will add a couple grand to the project but the benefits in terms of range of tune and ability to really use the supercharger in the range it was intended will far outweigh the cost. I would go with 9.5:1 - that should allow 10-12 pounds and get you to 600-700whp (a very rough off the cuff estimate) with very little risk, and at 9.5 you still have a very responsive efficient engine. Below 9.5 you probably want a custom cam grind and that gets $$$$$.
2) You have to get a custom tune for this because you need more fuel in at a minimum. Maybe the motec will automatically compensate, but I wouldn't want to bet on that.
3) As others have noted, you want to do an intercooler (although may not be needed with modest boost; hard to say with such a high comp engine what would happen without it). Under my high boost scenario, an IC is an absolute must. Autorotor makes a very nice air-water IC in tubes that can (and should) be integrated into the intake manifold. The tubes are relatively cheap (the custom manifold, maybe not so cheap).
4) To make a good size twin screw fit, you are going to need a custom manifold and place the twin screw in the V. The manifold will be the hardest part in my opinion.
Some additional comments:
1) I think most of us who paid 100K for our car are going to want this done absolutely right. A $10K spend to get a couple hundred more HP is a good trade if its safe, tested, and corners are not cut. So don't cut corners, and do it the way I suggest.
2) Kenne Belle is great but unless they are going to provide the whole package (manifold, pistons, and tune), I would go straight to autorotor and get your superchargers. You get more options (sizes and bypass options) vs. KB, but more importantly KB is just going to mark up on top of your markup (or the other way around) and make the project unnecessarily expensive. KB gets their sc from autorotor as I recall, so should you unless KB is providing some really serious value add. Otherwise, your cost is going to skyrocket.
3) If you insist on going without low comp pistons, don't bother with a twin screw. If you look at the psi x efficiency charts, you will see that in the low psi range, there is not that much difference between a twin screw vs. the cheaper eaton supercharger. Might as well go cheap if you are going cheap!
4) At the power I am contemplating, a quaife ATB is pretty important and unfortunately not included on the car. Might want to set up a joint buy program or offer a discount through them. Just an idea.

The idea of putting a top end twin screw on this great engine, but then limiting boost to 4 pounds tells me it might not be fully thought out. Boost for the sake of boost.
This will likely be a Stage I, where it is an easy bolt on and can be reversed. Over 90% percent of AMGs are leases and an easy reversibility of the mod is extremely important.
Stage II will produce higher boost and will require low compression pistons. That will be aimed at more dedicated owner who is likely to keep the car for some time.

Why not? There is a vast majority of 63 owners who do not want to open up the engine. Even at 70HP/70TQ gain, anticipated from low boost, is enough for them to make a difference.

My concerns if you start out with the Stage 1 -> Stage 2 approach:
(a) if you are designing with Stage 2 in mind, you need a pretty big blower so that (in Stage 2) you are going to be able to hit 10+ pounds on a 6.2+L engine without moving into the very high rev (lower efficiency) territory of the blower - unfortunately, such big blowers are going to cost you in $$ and in Stage 1 will rob power,
(b) are you going to design the manifold to accomodate the IC or will you have to modify the Stage 1 manifold to add an IC (or, if an IC is in Stage 1, do you need a bigger one that requires manifold changes)
(c) will you really get 70wp/70tq across the curve without sacrificing (losing power or torque) in some other parts of the curve
(d) will it make any difference in the quarter mile (my gold standard for whether a mod really improved things, regardless of what the dyno says) (I bet not)
Of course, you could avoid these problems and go with a smaller blower that is designed for 3-6 pounds, maybe even without an IC at 4 pounds, and then completely redo the project for Stage 2. That, however, doubles R&D and significantly increases materials costs.
In sum, I guess the tradeoffs from Stage 1 -> Stage 2 could be very significant as opposed to going right to Stage 2.

I am extremely sure that 70hp/70lbs.ft would make a big difference in the quarter mile as well as the smile on your face. I don't see how adding almost 100 hp wouldn't make a difference in the quarter mile, with that mentality no one would use nitrous shots below 100, and if they buy the Stage1 they will start to think OMGZ what could this thing do with more boost 
and then they would probably upgrade. But, I am pretty sure that someone's who works on Ferrari's and other high end Autos knows what he is doing

Off topic
Efficiency and power all the way across the curve. You cannot beat a supercharger for that, especially true in a big engine. A turbo or cent will give you a spike but it will come on only after spooling up and it will have a drop off too. You can compensate in a small engine and smooth out the power/torque curves a litte, but its much harder to compensate in a big engine. Great for drag racing, but not so good on the road.

Well, if you get an extra net 70whp but only at 7000rpm, and you lose net 35whp between 0-3500rpm, is it all that clear that you win the quarter mile race?

The nature of centrifugal blowers is parabolic, meaning at half the redline rpm, you make less than half of the boost. So how is it even possibly to achieve a spike in horsepower when max boost hasn't been reached until redline?
In my experience screw type blowers are close to turbos, they both build boost down low (the screw even lower) but at the top end screw compressors lose efficiency where turbos keep steaming ahead.
What exactly do you mean by compensate? Compensate what/for what?

Ok, I guess if that many AMG's are leased Stage 1 is a valid approach as a business matter. Still, I don't think its going to end up being that much of an improvement over stock (in Stage 1).
My concerns if you start out with the Stage 1 -> Stage 2 approach:
(a) if you are designing with Stage 2 in mind, you need a pretty big blower so that (in Stage 2) you are going to be able to hit 10+ pounds on a 6.2+L engine without moving into the very high rev (lower efficiency) territory of the blower - unfortunately, such big blowers are going to cost you in $$ and in Stage 1 will rob power,

Adding 70HP/70TQ will drop ET by at least 1/2 sec. and add 5 mph at the top. For most 63 owners that will be enough, for those who want to go further, Stage II will offer a further step.
I do appreciate your concerns, but I will not release this kit until I am 110% certain that it will be worth spending money on.

oh no!!! porque!! 63s are going to be faster than our 55s!!.. haha j/k... this sounds like a very intresting project, i think this kit if/when it comes out, will do good sales, i mean, like this one guy mentioned nowhere in hell he'll pay 7-10k for a blower, but when your driving a 100k 63 benz, whats 10 15k for more power? also i saw that sts kit for the m5, isnt that motor a higher compression or the same? doesnt seem like it have had any problems and the hp is around 700+ i believe

See if you can find ANYONE that actually has, owns, has driven, has seen driven, etc that STS kit! Just because someone claims something is real, that does not make it real! Trust me, I wish it did! LOL

Well dude, this comes at a bad time as my 63 might be on it's way out in a week or so, but I really hope someone steps up to take you up on this. The best way to gain some support though is to install it on the 63 you already have and hold a meet at GMG to talk about the results and then let me test drive the car 
Good luck!

I dont think you should have any problem running 5psi on pump gas. Look at the E46 M3 crowd. Horsepowerfreaks Turbo E46 with 11.5:1 CR runs 6psi on pump gas. They make 700hp on the same kit but with susing 110 unleaded gas with 11psi of boost. Its all in the tuning. It is all in the tune. This cant be stressed.
There is a huge misconception that boost and high CR is a bad idea. And that is false. Its high CR with pump gas that is a bad idea. Two cars with identical setups except one running 10.0:1 and another running 11.5:1, the higher CR car will more power/tq assuming enough octane is available.
This will be an expensive project. Who ever can afford to get this done should have no problem paying $7/ gallon for some Sunnoco GT104 gas. Hell pump gas is almost $4/gallon anyways. You've got to pay to play. I would say 5psi with spot on tune (NOT MAIL AWAY TUNE), higher boost with unleaded race gas and you should see a significant gain.

We've got a CLK63 cab project car.. Its going to get a host of upgrades..
To give you an idea of what is being done:
- CLK BS widebody panels
- Custom dual exhaust
- VRP 63 headers
- VRP S/C upgrade (first pass will be for stock internals.. second pass will be higher boost and built bottom end.)
- VRP VR530 Kit
- VRP 63 Coilover kit
- VRP 2piece brake upgrade kit
- Quaiffe LSD setup
- Custom wheels (havent decided on which ones yet)
There is a bunch more going into it, but the S/C is the first R&D project Vadim will be tackling.
We'll post progress of the project car as we move along.
