Default RR Racing tune or Sector 7?

Long time reader and owner. Whether this has been beaten to death about the RR Racing tune or not. I did do diligence in searching on here and maybe continually do the wrong searches or something isn't working properly on my end. I have found "some" information about the RR tune and not much about the Sector 7. I have seen some videos of the ISF with the RR tune and headers and a prepped track and then the tune on the Sector 7 with headers and exhaust blah blah blah. In any event does someone have experiencing with both yet that can comment on each of these? Thank you in advance. I am not asking for placebo effect answers either. Thank you in advance for any first hand help.

Theres plenty of data out there on RR Racing Tune along with their tuned intake system They have proven track record with excellent customer service. Sector 7 is new and from what I've read are still developing their tune. They created tune for transmission which looks very promising. From what I understand with their tune it removes redline to 7200rpm when in sport mode it keeps the torque converter lock all the way up until 7200 RPM and ajusted the shift poi ts on transmission. You can also get RR Racing tune increase to 7200rpm or 7400rpm most people opt for 7200rpm increase. You can try reaching out to Sector 7 on IG or FB. Give RR Racing call Simon, Shawn Alex and Rafi all knowledge great guys. Full disclosure I've been using RR Racing Tune and Tuned Intake for several years with no issues. For Optimum perform you want to be FBO to see the most power potential and benefit out of RR Racing tune. Unfortunately just not whole lot of info out on Sector7 Tune just yet, hopefully they have additional info out soon regarding their tune. Its always good to have choices and healthy competition to keep pushing the platform forward.

I have had the RR tune for 4 years now with zero issues. You can read up on the tons of information about it here.

I wanted to throw out another *potential* tuning option for the ISF I've been reading about. It is Orange Virus tuning (OVtuned) run by Matt Wilson (active on Facebook). He doesn't provide the tunes but will provide the software that you can use to unlock the ECU and dyno tune your car. He is currently testing out RCF tunes on his shop car and 1-2 others and claims the ISF option will be available soon.

I have no skin in the game here. Again - I've been happy with the RR tune but like having tuning options which hopefully can benefit the community in general.

Matt has been working on that for a while and took some heat from some "others" that I obviously won't get into. I think he has been working on that for about 3 years or so if I am not mistaken? Competition is good if it is healthy. What do you recommend I use as my search parameters to look into the tunes from RR?

I'm currently running a rr tune but I know the creator of sector7 so once that is out and proven I will most likely switch over.

The Sector 7 tune is not tried by many since it isn’t out. There is not really any data on it that I have seen. That said, they can tune the transmission, which could be a game changer. It’s the one thing I feel this car needs that I can’t buy.

^^^ Could not agree more. Being able to tune the transmission would be awesome!

I too have had the RR tune for several years - not a single issue, I love my tune. With that said - the development of transmission tuning would be a huge bonus...

I am aware of the history of OVTuned but there is the start of some activity on the RCF platform that looks promising.
As far as RR tune search, obvious start would be here:

RR Racing mention few months ago that they were looking into possibility of transmission tune. When Sector7 transmission tune first came to light. I haven't heard anything else since RR Racing said they would look into it.
