CLS Supercharger kit...advice??

OK so im real bored with my CLS500 I need to liven it up a bit...what are my options.....

HPS- Supercharger Kit +135HP (4 yr 50k warranty...in SoCal)

Kleemann-Supercharger (+200HP alone), ECU, Headers + 212-2120HP (pricey but HP gains are amazing) (1yr Unlimited Miles...located in CO im in SoCal)

renntech also makes one, but it is $15,900 and quoted 443hp at 5750rpm, and 447 torque b/t 2400-5000rpm. it is "low boost supercharger with intercooler". i do not think this is cost effective.

my vote, however, is the Kleemann. they have been doing supercharging for years, their products are proven. they are really making the company grow now. there is a local Kleemann dealer in Burlingame, CA, in the Bay Area. their Kleemannized cars have really responded well to the supercharger system, numbers wise, and i don't think they have had any problems, so kleemann seems reputable to me. i know they did a supercharger system on a lot of mercedes already.

according to kleemann, on the 500 engine, their supercharging retail prices are as follows:

supercharger alone: 485hp @ 5800rpm, 472lb/ft from 2000rpm; $11k
supercharger + ecu: 500hp @ 5800rpm, 490lb/ft from 2000rpm; $12k
supercharger, ecu, headers: 540hp @ 5800rpm, 525lb/ft from 2000rpm, $15,300.

i know there are a lot of customers satisfied with kleemann's product lately. i would expect that on the CLS modifications to do just the same. if i had the money, i'd go with Kleemann.

Kleeman Website??

Does anyone know if there is a website for Kleeman? I tried doing a search but only came up with a thread from Benz World....or an authorized dealer in south FL

Thanks

Mono2100... I would def. recommend Kleemann. I have read a ton about them and all their customers seem to be very satisfied. At the moment they build the most powerful and best performing Benz'. Renntech used to be ahead of the game, which was previously my favorite MB tuner... But I think I am switching over to Kleemann now, due to higher horsepower kits and the fact that you get "more bang for the buck"... Just my 2 cents

Oh yea... Whorespower, the reason you didn't find the website for it is because its spelled Kleemann... That always used to happen to me.
