Why? Lower suspension can't do that, or it's how the M5C carries itself LOL, jokingly

Comp starts with more boost, RC bumps the boost over the starting point. Its not like a traditional ECU flash that overwrites and starts all over.

You have to stop by and let me drive your car! I want to RC my car but can't do it without seeing a major difference in performance!
Just kidding about letting me drive your car lol

A non-Comp M5 with the JB4 is running 10.31 in the 1/4 mile at 136mph and the times are consistent. See here. Last edited by limeypride; 02-10-2019 at 03:27 PM.. |

I measured my gains in hp and tq per dollar and the RC delivered with spades. The car is clearly faster as I go back and forth to remind myself (map 7 to zero and back). Its a cheap and relatively safe bang for the buck with my CA 91 octane. Others may need more- Im good. Miko M onfireX5 both can add more empirical data.

Bang-for-buck-wise, the full-spec JB4 is 899 whilst the RC (top-spec) is 799. The stage 1 JB which brings with it a simpler install is 499, the same as the mid-spec RC. The net net: they're similar products with similar pricing. The full-spec JB4 works well for those that want the most from their engine and a set-and-forget plug-n-play experience as does the RC. But the JB4 also works for those that want to push the envelope, e.g. fine-tuning the boost, different octane fuels, meth injection, advanced logging, etc. |

With or without my car, I'm no help--we're under a foot and a half of snow here and it's still coming down so I could perhaps muster a 1/4 mile time of 30+ seconds if you'll handle the eulogy. |

onfireX5 Miko M Have done draggy tests. Ben at r33_RGSport is one of the retailers here and hooked me up day 1. He can easily elaborate too. But no matter what, the RC is in its best format is not set up for such numbers. No chance the RC gets to 136 traps, that car was done up on race gas and JB4. The RC is really as I stated and Tom and Miko will chime in, an easy peazy plugger that gains maybe 3-4 mph in trap on a non CE car. And thats what I wanted, plus it was out back in Sept I think and Ben, the retailer lives very close so I went to him for the easy install. What I like are the liveable adds in my drives which are 30 to 120 bursts and city dig stomps

BEST pure stock was 11.23 at 124.20mph with a 3.01 0-60mph BEST RC is 10.86 at 129.04mph with a 2.76 0-60mph. On Pump 93 RC adds a lot of power to the M5. |
