Discontinued in 2010. Get a eurocharged tune and needswings cold air intake. That'll put you at about 250HP to the pulleys(211whp). Which at stock is 179whp. Should cost ya around $800.

Don't know a lot about WHP, but I did the NW SCAI and the 74MM TB, and the EuroTune, and seat of the pants says about 20-30% better.

Manually timed, my 0-60 BEFORE was around 7.5, now it is in the high 5's, low 6's

MPG does not seem to have changed, but maybe a scosh better ....

The TVT tune came from Eurocharge anyway.

Look up Paul's crossfire on google. It'll show dyno results for mods he's tried and for mods he has heard good things about. Basically any mod to an r170 Mercedes engine. Eurocharged tune is pretty impressive in my opinion for the money I've spent there is a considerable difference. My CAI is alright but felt very little difference andy magnaflow just makes it sound meaner. I'm not sure my wheel horse power right now as I haven't had it dynoed. Possibly will after I do the Evosport pulleys and the larger Throttle body. Each claims gains so we'll see what happens.

Stock can be anywhere from about 160 to 180, they do vary quite a bit based on the car, ambient temperature, type of dyno and countless other factors. To say every XF is 179 WHP is off base.

Every car is a little different and some seem to have better luck with different mods (or they think they do based on the butt dyno). My tune and CAI made a very noticeable difference, and I did them seperately to make sure I could tell. The 74mm TB was not noticeable to me, but maybe on a dyno I picked up a few WHP...
