Tune
Hey Guys,
i was thinking about the rr-racing tune for the RCF, but is it worth it? I heard the gains are so minimal like 15-17hp, to where its not worth. Also it only shows a tune for 2015 and 2016, it wont work with a newer model?
Thanks

Put an exhaust on for say, 30hp and that'll cost you $2000 plus labor.
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.

It is on the RR racing site. It is not +17 whp peak. It is the area under the curve gain (and corresponding midrange torque). Simply a "thicker" powerband by more area under the curve. The peak HP gain is around +7 or +8 whp I believe.

from my experience with tunes on different platforms, the tune itself on a NA platform won't add a ton of measurable HP & TQ peak gains. The bulk of the gains will come from in between the power curve, where normally the RC F might be doggy from 3500-5000 the tune will liven that area up substantially. You will be "faster" with the same or just a bit more HP/TQ.

If im setting up the tune myself with the remote i still have to pay the extra $550 for setup cost?
