For this project, we installed a custom overdrive supercharger pulley that brings boost close to 10 PSI. Of course, along with the pulley wheel we installed a much-needed custom developed GIAC chip to properly adjust fuel and timing to the higher boost. The GIAC chip itself added some 12-15 HP! The results were nothing but amazing! The increase was an incredible 33 HP and 42 lb-ft of torque measured at the rear wheels. This added power will break the tires loose even with the standard automatic.

With these mods, a C230 Coupe can keep up with a BMW 330i.

Bummer...

I bought the 8 already.

Btw, how come I did not see the supercharger kit for the C-320 coupe?

Also, isn't the C230 using a supercharger already? Isn't it kind of expensive to put in just a pulley and a chip? The chip, of course, may be expensive if the fuel map is properly adjusted.

Finally, it may helpful to have comparisons with other more well-known tuners such as Renntech or Brabus. Just my $0.02.
