So aside from an ECU tune, air filter and custom exhaust work.... that’s about the only places to pick up power with the M276? Outside of nitrous I guess.
Had the intake all apart and couldn’t find any optimizations there. Except maybe removing the yellow plastic restriction thing right before the throttle body - has anyone messed with that?
I’d really like to get my GLK350 closer to 400hp. Does anyone make headers? Can’t find any anywhere.

Just a thought, if you should order a new replacement engine for each type, how would the price differ (or not), and if different, why-?

First I will be using a stock engine with a MoTeC M1 ecu, I will be making headers.
Also building another race engine with custom made rods and pistons, lifting the compression to 13:1 and doing some head work.
Should get it on the dyno in a few months, will be interesting what HP we can get from the stock engine
