i have a Borla exhaust. will there be noticeable gains with this tune compared to if i was stock?
Most gains are when paired with Headers (+40whp) but with just an exhaust, we see a nice mid-range gain, better throttle response etc.

We typically see nice mid-range gains with the tune along with better throttle response on bone stock applications or with exhaust. Adding Headers is what really opens the cars up (+40whp)
Yes you always have the option to revert back to stock. You would either have to send your ECU in for us to reflash or we would have to send out the tuning module/cable again to do remotely.
If im setting up the tune myself with the remote i still have to pay the extra $550 for setup cost?
^^^^This is what I was also wondering cause I never really cared about adding headers or even an exhaust, just a Tune! Can't really see that now after what jafsport just posted, Best thing I did was put the Apexi set up on it, doesn't add any extra HP but the car is SO much more Alive, barely touch the peddle & the car jumps & is really more Frisky jmo, I Love it
i’m really interested in this tune, I’m usually “the guy” that get stuff like this early in the release cycle and suffers through the issues... its taking a lot of self control to resist!

If you're interested, you can PM R&R and ask for a copy of the instructions. I did that. Read it over to see if you're comfortable doing it yourself. There are several scary warnings saying if doing it wrong you can trash your ECU.
How long until you think you will have a tune for the 2017 RCF
QUOTE=RRRacing;10817630]The tune is $500 - for remote tunes, we charge a $550 deposit for the tuning module and cable which is refunded once it is returned to us.[/QUOTE]

QUOTE=RRRacing;10771811]Hi everyone,
Alec from RR Racing here - we offer two options for the 2015/2016 RCF(2017+ is in the works), both a traditional bench flash where you send in your ECU to be flashed along with a remote tune. The remote tune means we would send out a tuning device/cable for you to flash the car and then return the device to us. Upon receipt, we would refund the $550 deposit for the device/cable. Both are going to net the same power/tq but just differences in flashing methods.
Gains are noticeable on a bone stock application, along with improvements in throttle response. When paired with exhaust, headers and intake is where you typically see closer to 440-445whp/395ft-lbs.
Please feel free to give me a shout with any questions or for a quote!
I have the tune (gsf) I gained 11 whp with the addition of PPE EL header and RR racing tune.
419 whp - catless midpipe, drop in filter, eveything else OEM
421 whp - catless midpipe with custom gesi 50025 cats welded, PPE EL, RR racing tune, drop in filter.
430 whp - catless midpipe, PPE EL, RR racing tune and drop in filter.
The tunes were done on different days so there could be slight variation, but car was driven/tracked in between each dyno session, so ECU had lots of learning time.
I don't have a bone stock baseline but this should provide a pretty good picture about what to expect with header and a tune. From a bone stock to FBO, you can expect 20-30 whp gain, but don't expect to pick up a lot of hp just with a tune. The tune is mainly to turn off the CEL from deleting the primary CAT.

Really wish you had a baseline to compare to. I’ll have a Stock -> Exhaust -> Intake Elbow/Filter -> Headers dynos after I get these next two dyno sessions in.
I currently have a stock dyno and catback dyno.
I’m getting dyno’d on 1/18 with the intake elbow. And then whenever my headers come in I’ll get a dyno from that. And I’ll overlay all of them and post it so we can see the true progression step by step.
