RaceChip Data Update
Hello everyone,
I recently stated that the racechip gts black was having troubles in Map 7. So i went back down to map 1 and every three days went up maps, then i tested map 6 for a week straight and it was perfect. No pull timing feeling, ran good numbers. So i figured hmm maybe it's used to it now tried map 7 again today, and instead of my car actually stopping at 127mph now it pauses at 115 and the entire acceleration feels jittery. So if you own a racechip map 7 is a gimmick. Not sure why but definitely does not work in that mode.

Youre gonna get the “i ran map 7 no problem” responses but thats only a few data points. It looks like your particular car/fuel combo doesnt like map 7. It happens but i think the 100-200 on map 6 vs map 7 was only a couple tenths slower and 60-130 a few tenths (when map 7 actually worked and didnt start chewing the motor). I would either stop messing with map 7 (if i couldnt keep it in my pants ) or ask race chip to send a logger or a US replacement unit or mapping for 91 octane on map 7 (which will prob be equal to map 6 now so whats the point right?). You may also need to re gap your spark plugs which will help with a tune also. I suspect you would have the same issue with jb4 or even possibly a tune. Thats my 2c for what its worth (probably not much lol).

60-130 in the 7s is crazy fast for a 6 banger. Just to put that into perspective that what my friends huracan does, as did my R8 v10 plus. Youre gonna need a tune for sure lol. I still think map 6 can safely do low 8s your DA was over 2000. For plug and play thats a really solid result.

Have seen numerous under 8 second 100-200kph (62-124mph) runs on Youtube stock M3/4 Comp. Seem to recall 7.7 was the best. Other cars compared to it weren't even close--RS5, C63S AMG, Alpha Q, 911/911S. Very impressed with this part of power band as it's the most usable for road driving--conditions permitting, of course.

Why settle for race chip ? Wait for a proper tune when it is available, if you are already going to void the mechanical portion of your warranty.
