I've done the Dinan Software upgrades with throttle body. The exhaust was too much for my liking so I went with deleting the resonators and replacing with an X pipe. Those mods alone gave my 3.0i a little more life in the mid and high range of its power band. No dyno slips but the car moves with less effort than before.

I have ordered TMS pullies and have yet to install them. I dont expect a huge increase in power, but enough to consider my purchase worth it.

Another suggestion would be to try the software upgrades from Superchips, TMS or Conforti...

I would if I needed to know the exact numbers my X is putting out, but for the minimal amount of gains I already expect, I dont exactly see a point. At most, I'd be 10-14hp and 12-18ft.lbs more than stock. Even if it were slightly less, I wouldn't be disappointed. Its clear the 3.0i version of the e53 lacks power upgrades, aside from a supercharger kit.

Maybe if dyno runs were cheap/free and nearby I'd throw it on to see the numbers.

I also have the same question but on a 4.4. Would I see any "real" difference just upgrading the engine software and tranny software?

I am pretty sure upgrades on a 4.4 engine would be very worth it. And improvement felt would be much more obvious than on a 3.0
