R171 165hp upgrade to 200hp ?

Hello !

Have some question because I plan to buy an R171 SLK 200K but after trying it, I feel like it lack some power...

My current car is an mk2 Audi TT 225hp FWD, 0-100kmh around 6s I guess... So my question here is, can I do a remap on a 165hp SLK up to 190/200 without any other change and will it actually change the acceleration of the car ?

My focus here is mainly the 0-100. Don't really care about high end speeds.

Though, I also feel like the SLK doesn't need much more power go give cool sensations because it's an RWD, but still, 165hp really feels underpowered.

I also know there's the V6, but those models are more expansive, to buy AND to maintain so that's why I want to stick with a 4cyl kompressor.

Thanks !
