whats next on e55?

Been modifing my e55 and now its ready with; Pulley, ECU Upgrade, Sport air filters, headers and Kleemann large diameter inlet house and throttle body. the car is out of control, slips and slides all over the place.
any recommendation on whats next e.g tires, Intercooler or oil cooler..etc since i am in Dubai and weather temp reaches around 120 in summer and 70 in winter...i need some good grip soft tires, but which ones?

Any R compound tire will help. I've had luck with my Toyo RA1's. Did you do all those mods at the same time? If so let me know what order. I'm curious about the TB. How much power do you think that gave you alone?

Doesn't the ECU upgrade eliminate the speed limiter?

PS2 are spinning very well. thanks SL BRABUS but your recommendation was good for the track or strip but not high sppeds, didnt go with R types cuz i dont know how they handle on high speeds. PS2 are good for both high speed and strip.

i am afraid i cant answer all the questions.

-you have an option of removing the speed limiter when you upgrade the ECU.

-TB, Pully, Headers then ECU at the same day but in this sequence. should they be in any other order? Kleeman claims that with these mods 590hp, TB alone 30hp, but i am not sure untill Dyno time. its hard to find some good dyno places over in here. so bare with me untill i give an answer.

Thanks E fifty5, even your name got modified with some dots
