^^^ Good advice.
Budget? Goals?
A generic answer is "pulley + tune will 'raise the horsepower'" but from there you have a lot of different options, from many different reputable vendors.

I hate to sound like the grumpy old curmudgeon but, after more than 9 years of W203 development and discussion, there are hundreds of threads discussing this topic right here in MBWorld's C32/C55 forum.

Mild pulley, and intake got me into the low 13's and 0-60 in 4.5ish secs when I could get it to hook, lol
They say a ECU tune is good for 30-40 more? but I cannot verify.

"In standard form, the C32 AMG (Software suits pulley) 3.2 produces 349 hp and 332 lb.-ft.
Powerchip has a range of chips to suit your car, which can increase it's power to 418 hp, and it's torque to 398 lb.-ft."
69hp crank & 66lb-ft torque? that seems pretty damn good.

C32's? Check out powerchip. Don't know how reliable their statistics are (maybe you guys can fill us in), but:

After a Tony 'Tune' (Eurocharged ) I got 336 RWHP.
PowerChip? Maybe, just maybe.
