They posted like they have those things available for sale but all they have to offer is some pretty pictures.

Copied the article from the other site.... Here

Rejoice W211 E55 and 55 AMG fans, the day is finally here. We first announced that this upgrade was being developed in December of last year and as usual Weistec diligently worked on it and delivered as promised. The 3.0 liter supercharger upgrade is officially on the market. There are several advantages to the 3.0 liter twin screw versus the factory 2.1 liter namely in the areas of efficiency and heat management which is vital for a positive displacement application.
The factory 2.1 liter supercharger weighs 50 pounds more than this upgrade. This is partially due to the solid steel drum of the clutch rotating assembly. In addition to the weight the way the supercharger is designed/placed has the intercooler in the valley of the V8 meaning it will get hot rather quickly due to heat from the engine rising out directly into it. Heat soak is a large issue with the M113K cars and there is a long history of W211 E55 owners in particular complaining about heat management. This issue will be mitigated considerably with the Weistec supercharger which has the intercooler fully floating within the lower manifold casting. Basically, airflow will cover the Weistec intercooler from all sides resolving the issues with heat soak.
This all boils down to a larger, more efficient, and lighter supercharger. More power, less weight, and the ability for repeat runs without losing that same power. Yes, exactly what M113K owners have been asking for. This same supercharger currently powers the fastest Mercedes in the world on the M156 motor platform and is a proven commodity.
The W211 E55 AMG sees a restriction at the point of the throttle body. Now remember, since this is a positive displacement design the car pulls air through the throttle body into the supercharger. The E55 was limited in this area by Mercedes likely to appease SL55, S55, and CL55 owners who had a larger throttle body. The factory 74mm can be upgraded by Weistec to 82mm with the supercharger upgrade eliminating a vital restriction point through which air passes to the compressor.
The supercharger kit retails for $8,649 and includes the following pieces:
Key Features:
3.0L Twin-Screw Compressor Module Why Twin-Screw?
1000hp Liquid to Air Intercooler Core
High Flow, Cast Aluminum, T6 Hardened Lower Manifold
High Flow, Cast Aluminum, T6 Hardened Intake Elbow and Throttle Body Inlet
Maintains Factory Electronic Bypass Valve
Hard Anodized Front Drive Bracket with Double Bearing, Belt Wrap Idler
HD 8 Rib Belt Tensioner
HD Supercharger Serpentine Drive Belt
High Flow Billet Fuel Rail System
650cc Fuel Injectors
Molded Silicone Air Pump and Throttle Body Coupler
Weistec Weaved Cotton Fiber Air Filter
New OEM Gaskets
Saves 50 Lbs. vs Factory Kompressor
Weistec Engineering, M113K S1 SC Reflash
Power figures with dyno graphs will be released shortly and detailed in a separate article. Congratulations to Weistec for delivering yet another great Mercedes product. Pictures are below, hurry up and order yours as there is no doubt this will be a very popular upgrade on the platform.

Yeah saw that too. Wonder what the difference would be going up to 93 octane. Would be nice to see results from a modded car too like most people have these days.

Well since it basically adds 115 rwhp to Bone Stocker, & fully modded E55k w/oem blower makes on average 500 rwp w/basic bolt-ons, would imply Weistec 2.9 blower on top of basic bolt-ons will NET 600-615 rwhp..
Not seeing 700-750 rwhp even if cammed/heads/etc as those E55's top out around 550-565 rwhp but add that 115 rwhp gain & you guys should easily attain 650+ rwp which is very stout indeed (though if you add in Meth/E85/ or high octane fuel you should hit tthat magic 700 rwp)
edit: WOAH love the blower whine That alone is worth price of admission!

Don't forget those are on 91 octane, and if I you watch the video you see they did 574whp on the dyno, guess they dialed it back some for god knows why to post their fancy graphs?
Oh and a lot of us don't run that crap you call 91 octane. 93=more power.

93 isn't going to add massive amounts of power. Now we have no idea how hard they're pushing that SC, it probably has a crap ton left in it even on pump gas!

I'm betting the Ice slushy added most to the additional 41 odd rwp gain over 1st graph tho I'd love to see it hit 700 rwp w/basic bolt-ons... I'd def snap up an E55k & join you guys

And yeah that is on stock crank pulley, curious what kind of boost they have it running with the pulley size they chose to start with on the actual unit.
