W204 c250 petrol max hp with modifications

Hi guys
i currently have a 2013 c250 petrol
with m271 evo engine
i’m planning to modify it and i want to reach somewhat int the range of 350-400 hp
i was wondering if anyone has done something similar with stock internals and what is the list of modifications you’ve done.

I realize Mercedes makes modern four-bangers that produce over 400 hp stock, but that's not what you have.

I have a C250 and it's a great car. It performs well in stock trim, is reliable, looks great, and is reasonably economical. It is an ideal antidote to the current crop of sedans, sports or otherwise.
However, what you suggest is not only an expensive and highly bespoke path, but the outcome would be an engine and power train with the life span of a mayfly (probably less).

Just enjoy your car as it is.

He might be able to get a little more out of the engine with a tune, but not 350-400 hp.

Hmmm, maybe I'm wrong. This guy got 416 hp from an Audi TT 1.8T.

It’s very tunable because of its heritage. When it first came out, it was the darling of the tuners. But tuning to modify waste gate actuation, throttle response, shift points, maximum boost might get to 250 HP. Mine had that done by its first owner and it made it unpleasant to drive in daily suburban traffic. My local shop/tuner cooled it off a bit and it didn’t lurch at first touch of the accelerator but still did 0-60 MPH idle roll start under 6 seconds. Not exactly a super car but it wasn’t exactly built for that. If you get into engine mods, you’re going to have to upgrade the transmission.
