I'm sure you would've found it on your own if you would've had more time.

I think thats gonna take some custom work! I wanna get the pulley chip and headers (With the prices I have seen that would all cost me around $2500 + install) And I would only at best expect 40-50hp increase. Thats enough to maybe get you into the mid to high 6s to 60. And that besides the air filter are pretty much the only mods that are available now or in the future (near or far we dont really know yet!). If you can find someone who can manufacture custom parts you can do alot more but thats big money that not many people in a C class want to spend! (I would, just dont have it!)

I'd be nice to know what model year you have or are looking at, as the '02s and the '03-'05 models have different engines. There's quite a bit more available for the '02 as opposed to the '03-05s. Also, coupe or sedan?
