Rally life... if you have a chance to go on one, don't hesitate! Best thing I ever did with this car!

All tuned! Nice improvement in the mid range, no more CEL, and best of all speed delimiter! Now just waiting on the supercharger!

BTW those of you that didn't have the TSB fuel voltage adjustment done, this tune includes it also!

That looks like so much fun!

No limiter - are we going to get a top speed run from you one day?

Lol... Most likely, just have to find a long stretch of road in Mexico, or once I get the supercharger. Actually I just scheduled a dyno session next month to see the difference in the tune, I might do a max speed limit test there, safe and controlled.

Not much really, he's from Canada, well 95% of them were Canadians lol. Just straight pipes from the stock headers, that Rocket Bunny Kit is dangerous BTW, well maybe the rear wing causes it, but anything past 125 MPH, it get's real squirrelly. The interior carbon trim is silver, which was weird to me. I'll consolidate a bunch of videos of him and I going at it in one and put it up.

Thank you sir! The video is below for the before and after the tune is below, I see a .2 sec difference from 104-130 MPH. Let me know if you see anything different. Otherwise, more data will come next month from a Dyno!

Hey! since you got the RRRacing tune that has the Anti-lag TSB, would you still use the Apexi Throttle Control?

The Apexi throttle controller changes the throttle position of the RCF, the tune doesn't change the throttle position, the tune improves ignition and fuel maps to make the car run less rich and make more power. The TSB is not a anti-lag, but it fixes a problem with the fuel pump regulator voltage, before the TSB, some of the RCFs had problems with the fuel pump regulator where if you stop at a light, the fuel pump regulator voltage would get so low that it would cause the fuel pump to make noise.
