Save the $3,000. That won't make it noticeably faster

$3000 is more than enough to make his car as fast as it's going to go. There does not exist any other performance modifications for the M276, so even with $10000, he would have the same results. Most tunes are 800-1300 area.

As said, there's just not that much that can be done with this engine other than tune. In some ways it makes me miss my old Saab's i4 turbo...so many possibilities.

They are, but there is only so much you can get out of a naturally aspirated engine.

1400$ for an kleeman ecu tune would in theory bump the car 80 horsepower. i think that'll make it "noticeably faster"

I've all but given up on M276 tunes. Everyone claims they know the engine, but won't disclose what they know. Kleemann says they have a C300 tune to 330hp but won't post dynos, OE claims the C300 is mechanically different than the C350 but won't post any evidence. What a **** show.
