Racechip vs Racechip USA
I'm looking at chipping my 340HP F Type. Has anyone compared the European Racechip to Racechip USA. The US customer service says it's the same. When I asked about the difference in the increased power between the EU Ultimate and the US Ultimate, they said it's because of the difference in fuel. When I asked about the difference in power between the 340HP and the 380HP (i thought they were the same engine, but with different tuning), I was told it's because of the tuning (?????) and because of the injectors. Is there a difference between EU and US?

I agree with the guidance already provided here... If you are going to chip it, do it right. Besides the cost is basically the same from a reputable vendor like the sponsors here

OK, I've read the string on the VelocityAP tune and my brain has seized. I am clearly over my head in the knowledge pool. Some, no most, of the values and terms used to describe the tuning are foreign to me. Stuart (or anyone else), I hope you won't mind if I ask a few questions. I see the BHP increase with the tune to 416, whether adding to the 340 or the 380. That makes sense to me - the only difference in the engines is the tuning. I'm not sure how to quantify the expected increase in torque. I believe the base 340 has 332 ft/lb. I don't know how this tune is physically done. Is it something I can do myself or do I need to take it somewhere and, if so, where? The Racechip (I know, I've gotten the message), can be installed and then uninstalled if I have to take it to the dealership for something. Is VelocityAP the same general type of physical design or should I expect something else? I won't ask if all trace is removed when I take it back to the dealership . . . I know better. Thanks very much everyone.

Yep, applying the tune is child's play, just a couple of trips from computer to car and back again. No physical part (such as a tuning chip) is installed, it's all done by connecting the hand-held device to the OBD2 port which then "flashes" the new tune to the ECU.
So much better in so many ways than wiring or plugging in a piggy-back chip.

If you don't notice any difference in the VAP tuned car may I respectfully suggest you may be in the wrong car ;-) ?

Thanks for the positive review and glad that you were so pleased with the results. We don't change the idle, but what you will find is that any time you re-flash the ECU it needs to re-learn a bunch of adaptations, throttle etc. So it will usually idle higher for a short while while it does this. Maybe 60-90 seconds at most.
