Engine Mod capablilties of the M111 Engine Platform

Hi all, I have a '99 C230K with the same engine as your SLK230's and was wondering what engine mods I can do to up the power a bit. It's bone stock, but I was thinking, new plugs, Kleeman Pulley Kit/ASP Harmonic Dampener, and bigger injectors. Are there any ECU mapping tools, or other things I could do?

I can't find any kits that include the MAF relocation or anything, are there any links floating around for them?

Also, how involved would an auto to manual swap be? (assuming I use a manual R170 transmission)

Thanks!

Sorry, Maybe I was a little excited... Anyway, are there any other more realistic options?
