powerchip and pulleys

Is it worth this option with a cl500? I keep reading that most of you guys think that it's better to buy a cl55 but I didn't...
So what can I do with a cl500? I just traded in my 05 cayenne turbo and I have to tell you...the cl500 doesnt' feel as slow as everyone makes it out to be..Maybe it's the kick that the normally aspirated engine gives? The turbo is more of a pull so it doesn't feel as fast to me?? What are the stock times for a cl500? Is it worth doing pulleys and a powerchip or should I supercharge it?
I'm assuming by the previous posts that supercharging will be 10k so maybe it would be better to buy a cl55 however, my car is only a week old...so that probably isn't an option...
I'll probably just pick up a cl65 when they get into the 70's with about 25k miles.. Until then I have to stick with what I have so any advice is appreciated..

Does anyone have real world experience with a cl500 and a powerchip with pulleys? Does it make a difference? if so, how much?
