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.

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.
