Who else has installed/used both on a F90 ?

I have. Biggest advantage to RC is the ByPass Plug. That's all I ever did on my F85 or my F90 for 40,000 miles of warranty work. 10 seconds to use the bypass plug. Zero questions. Plus anything electrical can burn up....so it was an option for my wife for an easy bypass. Never had an issue with either box.

Both work. Both give similar power in stage 1.

Comes down to what you want.

I have never trusted the bypass plug - im sure they make notes and if you did have a warranty claim it's pretty obvious you didn't zip tie a harness round your engine bay to leave a bypass plug installed.

Nope. ECU limits top-speed and gobs of other stuff; piggys have no say.

The leaderboard doesn't reveal the tuner until you dig into each individual placeholder's time so it'd take a long time to figure that out. As far as I know, there's no web interface to help that query. I've reviewed perhaps the top 50 or so 1/4 mile times and I haven't encountered a car that says it's RC-tuned. Note, though, that a lot of cars in that top 50 often say stock when they're clearly not.

You can also look yourself with or without a Dragy by installing the app.

Well, I've tried both recently. The RC didn't work for me. Have tried uninstalling and installing a few times and letting the car adapt but can't feel a darn thing between any map settings compared to stock.

I tried a JB4 in map 1 setting with just the TMAP sensors and immediately noticed a difference.

Now, I'm not giving up on RC just yet and r33_RGSport is helping me troubleshoot so I can report back if it's just a faulty unit or not.

And no I don't have a dragy, this is just my ass measuring performance but I raced professional in a few circuits internationally so know what adjustments on a car can do.

This is cool. I think you're ?the first? I know of to be able to test the two back to back.

PS: Dragy is about 1/4 of the price of either of the piggies; worth every penny...:

Ya, going to get one as soon as I'm back from some travels and hopefully I can get the RC working to possibly compare.
