Well i fitted box only took 15 min and have taken car for around 50 miles, defiantly felt more snappy and lively instant pick up...not that it was slow before..and no issues with feel of drive, run smooth trough the auto box.. no codes etc. So far so good. Ill take car up a level by weekend and by next week get the RR done to see on paper what difference its made.

I didn't take it up a notch until 2 weeks down the line then a week after that I was at D, then a week after that E. The car chugged a bit shifting from 1st to 2nd when I'm very light on the gas (think practically idle for navigating busy parking lots). That might be the torque pulling in 1st as I ease off of it on and off but I am still getting a bit of it now. Other than that it has been pretty good. |

I have had the RC in my car for over a year now I think, and only had issues when going to D in the California summer. Only having 91 octane gas seems like the culprit. went back to C with no issues for the past 6 months.

ok cool, well im booked in for rolling road tomorrow to see what output is and if any decent gains, so ill let you know. Car now set at E for rolling road....is it faster well....hard to be sure how much power to be honest, but today it saw off an E46 m3 (340bhp) very easily both from same speed, and i just pulled past him, he gave me a smile and wave after, maybe in shock.

Ok so at last....rolling road result. im only amazed so many people just talk about results or say no results online yet None get a RR test. I looked all over for real results when deciding which piggyback to get, so i hope my results help others see results and decide what to get. I wanted a cheap boost I wont be doing any other mods. So my car is standard it has a RaceChip pro on it now set to level E which i have done 30 miles on before the rolling road. I was hoping to get around 260bhp minimum. The box only cost me £200 delivered and im getting another 50BHP, it has run smooth all week and im on level E others go to F. so on F i would say you would be running around 380bhp. I have a chart showing at wheel bhp this was at 312bhp
I used these guys before with my Evo 7 13 years ago. They call this RR "The Heartbreaker" as it tends to give real readings rather than fake high readings Last edited by leeadam; 07-26-2016 at 11:01 AM.. |

yes its ok for rough idea, i didnt have time for a before and after, i went there on my lunch...maybe ill go back another time and do both in one session, either way gives you rough idea on increase likely. To be honest im not to fussed you certainly can feel the car is quicker.

It takes some miles to adjust and it gets better the more you drive in the setting. Proper fueling also is needed and the new box are even better now. I can't wait to get a Diesel car cuz I will be slapping one on as well, since they're really popular in diesel too.

Now when you go again run your current most adapted setting (1-2 runs) then increase to your next setting you want.. At your last run (put the dongle) to run stock mode to see your delta (difference in gains).

Mustang dynos are ideal for tuning because you can adjust the load; greatly helping a tuner compensate the tune for all sorts of load situations. One must remember though, the dyno is just a tuning tool and that's why you do before and after runs on the same machine. Lastly, it's kind of funny you call the Dynojet numbers fake but the shop gave you estimated flywheel numbers. Why European shops do this is beyond me. LOL |

Ideal mounting location?
I've read through the entire thread and have seen limited pics for the F22 on where to mount outside of where AlexGT mounted his. I followed Delnari's suggestion below in terms of general location, but haven't found a way to secure the Racechip. Currently, it's just tucked away down there (see pic). Any thoughts on this location or others that are more ideal?
I'm wondering where some of the people who have installed recently chose to mount. Would be great to see other pics! Thanks! Quote:

Ended up securing it down with fasteners as shown in the pic below. I took the pic before I cut the fasteners down.

I put mine there where yours is under the plastic cover but attached with clips upside down to the grid so its on the plastic rather than hard metalwork of car. If that makes sense. Ill try take pic.
