Racechip update

Hadib233 · 07-19-2021, 02:10 PM

Just got my "updated racechip" put it back in map 6, grinding noise at 6K RPM. Still going to limp mode, feels absolutely horrendous. I think I'm about just done with this company, i don't understand what is going on with it. Looks like I'm going to return this and get a JB4. This is ridiculous at this point it's undriveable.

My man. I really do hope there is nothing hurt on your car!! You have flashed your car and now have grinding noises? I would be sweating. Best of luck!!!!!!

How does it drive with racechip uninstalled? Are there any codes?

"grinding noise" that is a not good!! Let racechip know about this in case you need their "warranty"

No just runs against cars I'd previously been neck and neck with.

I now pull away very easily.

Butt dyno says the car is 20-25% stronger

Name some cars you've ran and the difference, also what map do you use?

PLife · 07-20-2021, 10:07 AM

20%-25% gains = 100-125 HP. I think its prolly around 10%. Which is still great for a piggy back and alot of pones.

I have been hearing these rumors now for almost a month and the couple of premier shops I’ve called to ask about it that are usually on top of this all say the rumors are total BS. I hope you’re right.

Both Stage 2 F80, f82, hellcat, and c63s sedan.

I've just been running map 6 cause of what you had previously mentioned not really feeling good about 7.
