Improving Horsepower and Throttle Response Without Engine Mods

Improving Horsepower and Throttle Response Without Engine Mods

Whether you've just purchased a new vehicle, or you've got something that's still OEM-fresh, there are ways to make considerable gains in your vehicle's power and throttle response without diving too deep into bolted on modifications or extensive engine work. The term "chip tune" has been thrown around for decades, and garnered some skepticism after a number of snake-oil products diluted the market. This left a lot of enthusiasts looking for reputable brands with proven results. Enter Racechip USA.

Have you ever wondered why cars with near identical engine specs can have different power outputs? It's all about the software. From the factory, the ECU and engine management electronics determine the tune. RaceChip's tuning tech taps into your engine's hidden potential, giving you a performance boost without breaking the bank. Whether your ride is already powerful or not, RaceChip unlocks its full potential, delivering an exhilarating driving experience tailored just for you. There are even options for EVs!

There are a variety of simple-to-install products from RaceChip that offer increased performance or adjustability.

Performance Increase with RaceChip GTS Black, GTS, RS, and S

The RaceChip GTS, RS, and S chips are a plug and play solution for unlocking the extra horsepower your engine has to offer. They can be installed without any special knowledge or tools in about 10-15 minutes, and can also be controlled via smartphone app. Testing has resulted in up to 30% gains in power and torque depending on the application.

Throttle Optimization and Adjustment with the RaceChip XLR5

Simply put, the RaceChip XLR5 is a throttle optimization tool. This innovative throttle tuning system doesn't directly affect your engine's power output, but rather gives you access to that power more immediately and directly. Choose from 7 different stages of throttle response from the controller, or via smartphone app. View more here.
