Hi everyone...
In a couple years I'll have my hands on my very own 97 C36.
But Its never too early to find those mods to add to the car. Unfortunately, bumping displacement is not possibly since AMG has already done that.

Personally, I wanted a fast "manual tranny" sport sedan like an M3, but C36s are only autos. So i checked into Renntech and asked how much for they're 6speed manual... $20K?! SAY WHAT?! .... nevermind I said.

So force induction was my last (and only) option. Personally, I believe in naturally aspirated engines. This is mainly due to the fact that with a N/A engine, you can make a good excuse when racing against a turbo. If you lose, you can simply say "but your engine's turbo'd!"... and if you win, you can say "HAHA you lost and you have a turbo!"

But anyways... I guess I'll have to settle for a supercharger, maybe because it has a nice ring to it as compared to "turbo". Plus, I don't like the lag of turbos.

So now, on to the search for a supercharger! Anyone got any ideas for a C36? I've talked to Mosselman and TDI-PLC about turbos and read about every thread here about forced induction... and its a simply idea that anything that can fit on the older inline6 C280 can also fit for the C36! (oh, if any of you C36'ers want a single turbo, go to Mosselman and get the C280 turbo, it pumps 350 hp).

Anything out there you fellow Benzers have found on supercharger? I know that Klemann makes one for the C280 V6, and I'm still hoping for one for the Inline6. Please Help!
