Race Chip?! M5 HP=744 vs M5C HP=736

Race Chip website
Claims 744 Horse Power after Race Chip GTS for the M5 non Comp

For M5Comp Claims LOWER!! HP 736 after GTS Black?!

Explanation?!

Is this a Typo?!

Go try for yourselves and after OPTIMIZATION for both 736 vs 744?!

Here what I got from Germany.

There was a confusion between PS and HP data from BMW NA and BMW EU.
The M5 was using BMW NA marketing data, which is 600hp, while in EU is 600PS (which is less than 600hp).
While the M5 Competition, BMW NA claim 617hp and 625PS in EU.

They are working to fix it.

Still no reply on how much boost in psi is increased over stock for each map/setting? anyone did any logging to check this?

these guys and others have posted draggy pulls with the RC added--- they all have meaningful gains post add. None of them are fly by night posters but instead have alot of empirical feedback not only about racechip but other processes.

The hp/tq gains look like crank numbers and not wheel though-but for 700 or so bucks retail with the ability to add and remove at will for service checks, the dollar per hp/tq gain is fairly priced.

There is definitely big difference in gain from stock. And you can't beat the price!!!

I have just over 2K miles on it and runs great. You can definitely feel the difference in pull and dragy proves it.

With RC you are solid 1/2 ( most off us are getting up to .6 sec ) second faster then stock from 60/130
You can't go wrong with RC for the price and reliability

What about 0-60 and Quarter Mile?! And in your opinion compared to JB4?! And by reliable you mean less risk on Engine?!

Thanks

Can't speak about JB4 because I never owned one
But here are some numbers that I got with RC on WINTER tires
Must have deleted the 1/4 mile but it was 11 flat
Yes, less risk

I mentioned this on another thread.....JB4 clearly documents how much PSI increase over stock is each map and if psi boost is high on certain maps they also advise to use Race fuel only. Knowing how much psi you are running is critical for engine safety.....the JB4 app also shows realtime all the vitals including the psi boost etc....

I have tried my best to answer it for you with all the information that I have or get from RaceChip directly.

Based on all of your post, you are leaning so much toward JB4.
If I were you, I would just jump on the JB4 instead of lingering and waiting for the detail information from RaceChip where the manufacturer doesn't even want to give out.

A few of the RaceChip users already chip in their thoughts on the product without my consent. Yet, you are still asking the same question on a few different threads regarding RaceChip.

RaceChip did not just popped out the blue a few months ago and start selling products.
I personally been selling RaceChip for over 3 years, going 4 years.
You can check the F15/F16 X5/X6 F85/F86 X5M/X6M sub-forums.
Most of the guys are using RaceChip since I stop carrying the other local brand.

Wish you all the best with JB4 though.
