I didn't go with the headers, because i m planning to buy them during Christmas.

It's a start though.

My optimistic (very) calculations give the following:
i. Performance pack (pulleys, k-box, sports filter) - 210hp total
ii. Kleemann headers - 230hp total
iii. Kleemann sport catalyst - 235hp total
iv. Quad exhaust - 240hp total
v. Bigger intercooler - 250hp total

Am i too optimistic?

When i finish with all these, i will dyno it.

You are really very optimistic my friend. Read threads in mbworld and see the dyno results, more than 220 hp will be a dream if you are not planning to twincharge the engine which is not tried and looks like impossible. An intercooler will not change your hp too much maybe help you on hot summer days in Greece, but overall adding 60-70 hp to your car will be great and you will feel the difference. Read Slkfans thread in mbworld , he did everything you (and I) desire to his 200 and results are like I tell you. There are many C class owners went for Kleemann performance kit getting similar numbers on dyno. At the end we should all agree on the same fact that tuning companies will not bring you the hps they offer but a Kleemann kit will be the wisest and cheapest choice for performance upgrade.
