VR550 Opinion/-Input
I plan on getting the VR550 package on my stock 2003 E55.
I would like to know your inputs on the performance of this package. I have read good things about it. Would the difference in power be noticeable.

I am going to used to star system to lower the fan operation by 10 c.
For cooling mods would an upgraded heat exchanger and cmj ic pump be ok or are there any more mods out there

VRP 550 is $2400.00 and is a relatively good price. You can get an ASP Pulley and LET Tune for around $1600 for the same, if not better results.
The VRP Pulley is a much nicer looking and better built pulley than the ASP unit, but the ASP works just fine.
Either way, I recommend getting a pulley/tune. It really wakes the car up.
