If you are going performance only, get the RPi scoops and exhaust to see actual, and immediate increase. A tune would also be something you should consider.
Sprintbooster only adjusts "lag" and doesn't give you any real performance increase. A tune may actually lessen the "lag," but may depend on what you choose. More experienced members in regards to this will hopefully chime in.
Discuss your performance goals with a vendor like Trinity and I'm sure they can help you out with at least a few items.

the BMS powerbox is not available for the N51/N52/N53 motor, that's not the engine for the 545/550
hey jack, how many threads on performance mods are you going to start?
GL with your mod choices....one thing to remember, aftermarket mods are usually designed to compliment other aftermarket mods by the same manufacturer...mixing and matching different parts/brands can possibly lead to the a non-optimal performance set-up....

hey i dont need your sarcasm i am a novice in this field and was looking for information sorry to of bothered you scrotum i mean genetals. I am looking to add mods so adding threads to learn what is what seems rather rational to me. If you dont have something informative to say then keep it to yourself. i dont want to be rude its just annoying when i am trying to find out what is what and have to deal with sarcasm from guys like you and the afe guys at the bottom.

Yep go with sprint booster, or velocity booster(which you can adjust). Velocity booster is more but it lets you drive less harsh if you have ladies in the car who don't like that since its adjustable. Also RPI scoops are good.
