A driver's school is definitely the best way to get the most out of these cars. But, if you must have more power our ECU tuning, as well as ECU/pulley combinations really transforms the car.

One of our customers that did an ECU/pulley combination had me give him a 1 day driver's school as well...

I think the first mod should be long tube headers (LTH) and a tune. Below are a couple of interesting links. Also, check out the E55 forum. They are the mod nuts of the forum and since we share the 55k motor most of their mods apply to us.
