Horsepower 450 torque 520 Nm (383 ft/lb).
That's with a VAP (or Eurotoys) crank pulley and tune on an F-Type V6 (exact same engine as yours).
I suspect the F-Type exhaust flows a bit better than that on the X250 so without exhaust work you would probably get a little less but not a helluva lot less.
Plenty of hi-flow exhaust systems around for the X250 V6 including VAP, or just get your local exhaust shop to build you one.

I would point you at their web page if I could but here in Oz it directs me to the local rep (Scuderia) which is no damn good at all for you, but if you search for "Velocity AP" you should be able to find it.
And being in Oz I can't help you with US based exhaust shops!

But a crank pulley and tune, that's a whole other ballgame!

I managed to access the VAP web page you want: https://www.velocityap.com/product/j...ey-ecu-tuning/
I was a bit out on both the price and the torque, for the crank pulley plus tune it's $1939 US and the torque is 436 ft/lb so quite a lot more than I said before.

And in your case it's not an extra 100 hp it's closer to an extra 110 hp, 450 vs 340.

found a guy who used a tuner device and made 100+ horsepower ,with the exact engine ,(f-type 3.0)

And it's the exact same procedure as the VAP tune.
I think he (or Viezu) is exaggerating a bit about an increase of 100 hp with just a tune, the VAP tune by itself takes the car from 340 hp to 416 hp (76 hp increase) and you need the larger crank pulley plus associated tune to go to 450+ hp.
If the Viezu tune by itself really does take it from 340 hp to 440 hp (which I doubt) then I would be a little worried about the safety of that tune.

The Viezu web page says +80 hp for the base (340 hp) F-Type V6: https://viezu.com/your-vehicle/cars/...charged-340bhp
So not +100 hp and within the error margins of what VAP claim.
Methinks our friend in the YouTube vids is exaggerating a tad.

And for your 2015 XF (which by the way is an X250 not an X260) the Viezu tune adds only another 40 hp (not 80 let alone 100) and only 60 more torques (not 100): https://viezu.com/your-vehicle/cars/...6-supercharged
