i'm up near boulder, how much food/beer must i drive down to hang about for one of these dyno sessions?
Thank you!
We actually plan on doing a Colorado AMG Meet by our shop in the next month or so, you should definitely come through!
We don't have dyno sessions here but we have a spot in the Springs we work with and highly recommend!

If you host something the wagon and I will make the trip down for sure!
Ehh Im sooo jealous about USA market, so many options to mod e55.
Its really hard to find any1 willng to do anything in the engine here back in EU :/
Keep up the good work, Im a BIG fan of all those sweet upgrades!
Someday I will order this upgrade, but first I need to find someone who is willing to install it
The kit includes a fixed supercharger pulley (clutch delete). In this scenario, the engine has boost all the time, correct? What happens to the factory supercharger bypass valve? If it’s still active, what are the driving characteristics? The charger is bypassed until 2000rpm still? So drives the same, but the kick-in is more instant at 2k, or it’s on boost all the time from idle up, and takes off like a train when I pull away at any revs? Would be good to know if the car is still Dr Jekyll and a more brutal Mr. Hyde, or if it’s 100% Mr Hyde.
Cooling: the options list has a single pass intercooler mod. Are the BHP figures you give including the single pass mod, or on a standard intercooler? How much difference does that mod make?
Similarly, are the results using the stock surge tanks or yours?
Finally, fuelling: I have the 630cc injectors and a standard fuel rail. Will this deliver enough fuel or will I need a looped rail/bigger injectors? I don’t want starvation to kill #8 (or others!).
Very interested. Want to make sure I know what I’m buying, and how it will affect the driving of my car.
thanks!

Read on to find out how we did it, and how we expect to push that over 700…
We are proud to announce the VRP 2.9L Whipple Supercharger Upgrade is now available! The single best upgrade you can do to your 55k AMG. This kit has already proven to be capable of over 300 HP Gains with supporting mods!
This kit retains a number of factory compatible components!
This kit is intended to be a supercharger conversion only, allowing you to upgrade your 55k as you go while preserving your previous investments.
Our Kit installs like the factory unit, and retains the classic 55k engine appearance. It is the single most Modular Kit available for the 55k Platform
This E55 was flash tuned based on 2 logs only. This car has never been dyno tuned and is running a FULLY OEM intercooler with no modifications. The car still retains the original triple pass system and remains on factory 5/8” lines. This Modern Masters built E55 is making 19psi with its current configuration, NO Headbolts, NO heads, NO cams. This car has a lot more left in it. The sky is the limit!
Before the Supercharger Upgrade:
519.23WHP; 568.23WTQ
Mods list:
E85 (unknown blend)
VRP 72mm Clutch delete pulley
VRP 180 Modular Crank Pulley

VRP Supercharger Kit for M113k FAQ:
1. What are the power gains?
- A fully factory E55 motor will typically dyno 430whp on a Dyno Jet. The VRP Supercharger kit made 668WHP...that’s a 238WHP increase in power! We were able to achieve this on a STOCK Factory M113K intercooler. With 15% drivetrain loss, this is over 768 Crank Horsepower. Almost 300 HP over the factory Rating.
2. How is this different from your competitors Supercharger?
- Our supercharger retains much more of the factory components allowing you to save your previous upgrade investments. The VRP supercharger is ready to go out of the box with a 90mm and 92mm throttle body. Our Competitors supercharger is only compatible with 74mm and 82mm throttle bodies. Our competitor Rates their Kit At 680 Crank Horsepower, we just blew that out of the water.
3. Why do I need to send my core in?
- We are giving customers a trade in value on their old units to lower cost of the supercharger.
4. Do I need any other upgrades with this supercharger?
- We have prepared a Stage 5 Power Package that integrates all of the supporting mods needed for your VRP Supercharger Kit. If you are piecing the kit together, we highly recommend our Stage 3 Cooling Kit, an ice tank, long tube headers, and 630cc or larger injectors.
5. Will this fit the M113?
- Yes, we are currently working on a conversion kit for M113 NA customers that will adapt the kit to work with their vehicle with minimal modification!
6. Will my AMG engine builder placard fit over this?
- The AMG Builder Placard is not compatible with the supercharger by default. However, you have the option to affix your plaque to the kit using the same epoxy that Mercedes used on the OEM supercharger.
7. Will the stock motor be able to handle this Supercharger Upgrade?
- Yes! Our test car was on a fully stock motor, Stock heads, Stock Cams, No head bolts, and fully stock bottom end

630cc injectors are ok for a basic whipple kit on 93 octane, If you are running E85 or a 105mm TB you will want injectors. I also highly recommend a looped rail.
The car is still completely drivable when not on the throttle. Although the supercharger is always engaged it is not "always in boost" at certain RPM the blower will still create vacuum, You can run with or without factory bypass valve.
The BHP figures are on a completely STOCK intercooler, Reaching temps of 148*, With the single pass you can expect drastically lower temps, which will equate to much more power.
Congratulations on maximizing the m113k with bolt ons. I love the dedication to the m113k platform. Thank you for confirming that LS swap is the way to go for big power.
