Supercharger for a 560SEL

Where can I begin my search for a supercharger for my '90 560SEL. ??? I keep finding links to a place called superchargerpros.com, but they don't have anything online. Is there anywhere else I can turn to for more power???? Since I am about to get a newer benzo, the 560 is going to become my old skewl euro muscle car...lol....

Your best bet is going to be going with a centrifugal blower and build yourself a kit or have someone else do it. These are very simple installs. Basically a mounting bracket and belt tensioner and a crank pulley and then the plumbing. I would imagine that you could get a system built for around 5-7000 thousand and then have to deal with fuel.

Same engine, different car.

This guy is the king atm of supercharging the M116/M117 engines do a search of him thru the rest of the R107 forums and on Benzworld.org too. He started with a 5L, then went to 5.6 and is still thinking bigger.

Most superchargers by them selves cost around 2000 or more. You could get a used unit and build your own kit for around that price, but you would still have to deal with fuel afterwards. You could run up to 4psi on the stock cis system with some modifications probably.
