The complete build consisted of several different upgrades from the supercharger, diff, headers etc.. Are you interested in just the supercharger kit? or everything we did to this car? Feel free to send me an email to matthew@gmpperformance.com and I would be glad to work up a good deal for you.

Impressive and clean .. didn't see any HP/torque numbers. Wonder why we have not seen more boosted W211 E63s around. I imagine you can't run that much boost without reducing compression. I'm sure it's impressive nonetheless

Very nice build. I know you did use LTH but the thing I love about the Kleeman SC is that you can make like 585whp WITHOUT headers on the E63. Just the Kleeman SC by itself as opposed to Weistec only making 637hp at the crank without headers. The TVS2300 is an amazing supercharger, being a roots type it has its advantages and disadvantages to the Weistec's twin screw. If you wanted all out power though the Weistec 3.0 is superior though. Again thought the no headers and 713hp/585whp is incredible for those wanting to maintain the car's stock noise level. The Kleeman is more expensive though.
Honestly though we loved the pics and all but we need some videos, some acceleration videos, maybe some quarter mile runs because without that we haven't really seen anything.

Is there any issue with heat soak withsuch a kit I live in Hong Kong and the weather here tends to be really hot and humid do you think this could be an issue ?
Also could you PM me what were the cost in terms of labor and parts for such an installation so I have a reference points for my research and negotiation here in Hk
Thanks
Chris

Kleeman says this kit makes 713hp at the crank with just the supercharger kit, no exhaust headers. Does anybody know if the boost can be increased without headers to get more power while still being in the SC's efficiency range? I have a friend who is seriously considering this SC for his CLS63 but we have crazy strict noise regulations so headers are out of the question. Would Weistec ported heads gain additional power along with this SC without headers?

Hope everyone has had a good summer. Anybody want to add something extra to look at under the hood AND add a bunch of horsepower over the winter!?

Crazy that Kleemann built real headers for the 63 and not those 1 5/8 shorties like they did for the 55.
