Cool Performance upgrades for C55?

I'm looking for any and all performance options for my c55. Currently everything is stock.

So far I'm considering Renntech Airbox/Cpu, but need someone who has it to tell me if it's worth it.

The computer reset worked great. I like that because it's free.

Read something on changing spark plugs. Anyone find that to be helpful?

Whatever you guys can recommend would be helpful. Can't afford the Kleeman package just yet... so looking for things to keep my car competitve with those M3s Evos and STI's in the meantime.

thanks

haha m3s. i have the renntech chip and airbox. your car should eat up and spit out m3s like nothin.(stock) that goes for smg or stick. my brother and friend both have modded m3s one being stick and the other smg. both have k&n intake straight pipes and chips and i beat em up pretty nice stock. i have to say renntech chip and air box are a little pricy for what you get but it does help a little. it also deleates the gov which gives you the top end. my friend has a new sti with stage 2 cobb tuning pullies and full exaust and from a roll and a dig he pulls about 2 cars( only when he brake boosts from a roll) and at 115 i blow by him like he isnt even moving
