What mods are available for an SL 600

Hi All,
I am being offered a very good deal on a new 2007 sl 600. What mods are available to bring it up to snuff. I live in the Chicago area and I'd like to deal with a local tuner. The alternative is to buy a low-mileage SL 65. FWIW, I'm currently driving slightly modified 2004 Porsche Turbo-cab, but I'm ready for a move.
I'd appreciate any input

Hi Adam,
What can I expect from the chip and the TCU programming, both in horsepower and responsiveness?

Thanks,
David
