The nice thing about this upgrade is you can choose to add the intercooler and increase the boost at a later date - 331 HP is the claim for the intercooled Kompressor package.
If my X-fire is still in decent condition once the 7/70k powertrain warranty expires I hope to take the plunge myself (although it would be nice to know someone else was happy with this mod before I take the plunge...but sometimes you just gotta say WTF). I've still got another 2 years to go...
Right now no one is going the kleeman route, since a stock SRT6 can be had for $30-35K converting the Limited XF of to the lowboost Kleenman kit just doesn't make sense, might as well sell your limited and put the money towards the srt6.
And the Kleenman kit has no proven history on a stock 3.2, I have not heard of anyone who's done the conversion yet. And who knows how much they're gonna rape you for it. $12-15K is probably a realistic number with them.
If you go with a small centrifugal system, the price is much lower, but there are some obstacles to get through before going this route. such as building a new intake manifold, mounting brackets, larger injectors, fuel pump and a new timing map.
