Tuning path

Hi guys...I recently added the 2004 E55 to my garage. I have never been one to leave a car stock, but am having a hard time finding reliable information about the tuning path for this car. Is there a cost effective company that offers pulley/belt upgrades, ECU flashing, porting, etc....? I know Kleeman, Renntech, Brabus, but am more intersted in HP/TQ and not bling. Any help would be appreciated.

VRP as they are pushing the development envelope for our cars whereas the others are moving on.

+1 for Vadim @ VRP

VRP has many packages and are all priced very well. You have a lot of stages to pick from, starting with VR550 (brings up your car's power level 550 bhp) and all the way to VR750 (yes, 750 bhp)

I (and a couple of very close friends) have also had good success with RennTech in the past, but as you already know, their prices are very unrealistic
