RE: Kleemann supercharger is un-real !!!!!

400BHP from a supercharged ML320 - is that for real? Is it even possible without the engine letting go sometime in the not too distant future ?
It'd be interesting to put it on a dyno and find out what it's putting to the wheels.

BTW 20" wheels actually degrade performance in terms of acceleration.

Like someone else said I suspect your insurance company would take a very dim view of the modification - should they find out.

Not least should you be involved in an accident they'll deny coverage and you'll be on the hook for $$$$$.

FYI I'm originally from the UK and know all too well how auto insurance business works.

In the meantime enjoy your hotrod.
