...I shaved off .4 seconds on my 0-60 dude on my 2nd try and I've never done something like this before. I'm telling you, do it, and you won't regret it.
yeah, that's what I'm saying. you'd think that they'd just post the dyno sheet and prevent the typical internet snake-oil claims. I admit I'm still skeptical, but I'm happy to hear that C43inNC is happy with the results. I'm a devoted w202 lover and I PRAY someone can post verifiable numbers that I can drop $500 and get another 25 hp without turning a single screw.
But my ultimate goal is to do a 5.4l swap and add a Kleemann SC + exhaust...
That's 450+ at the crank, I believe. If I can get my hands on a proper intake and kleemann cams, perhaps 470+
And I read an interesting post from a Kleemann representative himself about the M113 supercharger kit. He said that, for some reason, adding that same supercharger kit to a standard 4.3 engine (like in a CLK430, E430, S430, etc) gets you more total HP than if you add it to the AMG version in the C43.
That means you could yank your AMG 4.3 and store it. Buy one of many thousands of standard 4.3l MB engines lying in junk yards and slap on the kleemann SC and have 400hp. It's a direct drop-in.

Sulaco I get in the high 5 sec or 6 according to your video. what you can do is take the video and using window movie maker, check it frame by frame. it will be alot more accurate then the youtube video.
If true I think I know why. The AMG 4.3 has a more aggressive cam with higher lift and more overlap. Not by a large margin but it's there. The regular 4.3 has less over lap and in forced induction cases that is preferred. It could very well be that the normal cam is better suited to supercharging. Of course S/C cams are even better.
Completely mad.
'99 C230K, intake and exhaust more on the way.
