Does anyone know what boost pressure they are they using?
That isn't the AMG bodykit either.
Does the braking system upgrade work with SBC? If so what is the advantage of the upgrade. The standard disks aren't much smaller and employ 8 piston calipers with ventilated and crossdrilled rotors. I would have thought that you would get better improvements modifying the braking software and potentially changing pads.

Out Of Control!!
That is the Kleemann body kit.
The MB brakes are heavy! Changing to a 2-piece rotor can make a big difference in braking. Different caliper designs also come to play... I drove a E500K with the Kleemann 4-piston brakes, and had a headache after slamming the brakes!

Too Young To Drive
Kleemann generally don't run very high boost numbers... just about all of their supercharger kits for more "normal" Mercedes Benz cars run at a mere 0.5 bar.

Why would they remove the distinctive AMG front facia and replace it with something that resembles a modified E320 facia?
I drove a new (850 miles) E55 that was at the local dealer and can attest to the traction problem. A hard stab at the throttle with ESP off produces massive amounts of noise and smoke but little forward momentum. With the ESP on, you can readily sense the computer trying to keep things under control. It appears that the faster way to accellerate is to tip into the throttle without mashing it flat initially and bring the power up smoothly.
Isn't 4.6 seconds to 100KM (62MPH) slower than what the magazines are claiming? I would guess that the E55K has no advantage over a stock E55 until it was moving about 20MPH due to traction issues. After that, the extra horsepower should propell the Kleeman to any terminal velocity much quicker than the stocker.
