Default Canadian owners who have the RR Racing tune, how is it going so far?

I want to pull the trigger on this tune, I just want to make sure people have had no trouble here in Canada getting the tune to work. Any responses are appreciated, thanks

I'm in the US, but I have a Canadian "born" ISF. I just got the tune last week and all is well with me. It seems like the only difference with Canadian F's is the temperature (Celsius) on the center climate screen and the gauge cluster itself.

But I installed the tune last week and am happy with everything. Go for it!

I think they are probably referring more to the high altitude affects of the tune in Canada not that a particular car is from Canada. There are threads around talking about the tune and the revisions and the alternatives of using octane booster or e85 ect to improve the KCLV.

I think where the original OP is from (Ontario) there is no issue with altitude, same as anywhere else in the northeastern states. If it was BC or Alberta then yea, it would be more similar to Colorado, etc.

Gas that we have available here in Ontario is 94 from Petro Canada, i personally only run on that.

I'm wondering if there have been anyone from around here that got this tune done also? What was the process like, did you drive down to Pa, or shipped out the ECU?

Hi, I am in Vancouver and would like to know about this also. Our poor CND dollar makes it a big cost for us....I like the fact if you sell the car or need it back to factory specs, no one will ever it was tuned.....heh heh....

I'm around 2300 ft elevation but frequently travel the Blue Ridge Parkway where elevations can reach as much 6,600 ft and I haven't noticed in major problems or serious loss of power (you can certainly tell the difference in the seat of the pants comparing sea level with 6,000+ ft). I run 93 octane (possibly higher) at all times.
