There are many many threads on NAM regarding aftermarket tuning boxes, ECU reflashes from the likes of Dinan, Burger, NM, Bytetronic, WMW, and so on. I think I've read nearly every one from 2017 to date. I was ready to buy the Dinan Elite until I read this thread https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...te-a-scam.html which has made me take pause and reconsider.
After going back over the list of companies that provide these products, I ran across a new to me name, RaceChip, https://www.racechip.us. There seems to be very little feedback on the inter webs and here on NAM. Can anyone offer thoughts, comments, reviews etc on RaceChip, especially the RS version.
Dinan product is good, service is horrible as you can see from that thread. I'd buy one from a vendor who offers a money back guarantee of 30 days so you can install and make sure it works.
ECU tunes are great, make sure you are comfortable with track record of vendor. Check with Mariokart on here as well, he is a much liked vendor with no negative feedback.
Racechip doesn't get much play and I've read some bad and some good on them. Not enough info.
Race Chip on the N18 gave zero to 1Hp gain. Race Chip on the F series gave around 20hp. In the last 3 months I have replaced several RC, Dinan, JB4 and N’M modules with RPM Power
