So you guys still like the kleeman stuff the best? I have been giving more thought to doing a blower and ecu or maybe more to the G. This is the price quote i got from a kleeman dealer
There is the low boost supercharger for $8000.00
Kleemann Stage 1 485 HP & 472 lb/ft $11,000.00 - Kompressor
Kleemann Stage 2 500 HP & 490 lb/ft $12,000.00 - Kompressor/ECU
Kleemann Stage 3 540 HP & 525 lb/ft $15,300.00 - Kompressor/ECU/Headers
Kleemann Stage 3 557 HP & 532 lb/ft $18,800.00 - Kompressor/ECU/Headers/Camshafts |

Spend $8-18K on something you know is all buggered up to start with?
If I had your G I'd get rid of it and start over. |

Now do not take this the wrong way:
Repeat after me -
I have two kids who one day will need to go to college. That 18K in a 529 for my youngest is a great start. I will not make the poor challenged brain in my '02 self destruct.
Repeat every time you look at the Kleeman website!
Just a friendly reality check from a father of two young boys.
I think an overall cheaper solution is just get rid of the '02 and buy a 55. It really is a better solution. You are throwing good money after bad.
You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear.

this is all true. I have talked to a few dealers on the 55k's most of them have interest in "regular" g on trade.

I looked at a G55 at the Merc dealer in Escondido, CA yesterday. They've had it for about 2 months. They said they would probably sell it close to invoice. Just as my interest was getting elevated, they told me they wouldn't be very interested in a 2002 G500 as a trade in - the market is hopeless on those apparently. |

i was even told by the dealer that i would be better off trading in the pathfinder than the G on a GL.
The reason i was thinking on the kleeman deals is the cheapest G55 on auto trader is $78,965. Id be lucky to get $36K for mine on trade. 78,965 -36k is $42,965 difference. Where as i would do the stage two on the G which is $12k.
I wonder how much hp / tq the low boost blower ads.
