haters crazy
You can already make a rediculous amounts of power with a Kenne Bell charger, why make things more complicated by adding a turbo? Look at all the cobras with kenne bell chargers. You can't just make more and more power without making major changes (engine internals, fueling, stand alone engine management, reinforced axles, built trans/diff, etc etc). There is a reason why Vadim plans on running low boost.

a car that gets very poor gas mileage.
I know you guys (VRP) have several projects progressing together simultaneously, but it's been a month now without a word.
Has there been any new developments here?

Just set up a 24 hr web cam of your shop so we all can get our daily fix of VRP madness.

A slow Tahoe!
Could the 7-spd tranny handle that kind of hp/torque?
Because with 6psi of boost we can probably make a nice 600 - 650hp car on stock internals and boltons.
Stage 2 of same setup will be with a BUILT bottom end with hopes of reaching 800hp++... The CLK63 BS Cabriolet that we are building will end up with this configuration when we are done.
On the 55, changing the blower for a bigger one is about as challenging as pulling the blower and replacing it with a TT kit.
You have to get around the electronics for the bypass valve, the supercharger clutch, the programming in the TCU, etc, etc.
If the ECU sees boost during shifts it will go into limp mode. On a normal 55 car, the ECU disengages the clutch, shifts gears, and then re-engages from what I was told. All of this leads to big programming challenges..
It's not to say that SOMEONE isn't already working on a blower replacement though.
