RCTS Worthy

[kerr]

I have had no experience with doing business with RCTS and i am wondering if anyone has had any positive or negative thoughts or experience with getting work done there such as mods and dynos?

If you need custom BMW stuff, read this thread regarding RCTS experiences:

Thats quite a bit of info. Thank you very much for that. So just out of your curiosity you obviously have a lot of insight on tuning. If you were to get Exhaust, software, and a cold air intake what would you get? and where would you go for the install. I drive a 98 540i E39 (V8,6spd) thank you again. Right know I am thinking eisenman exhaust, Dinan software, and confortti or gruppeM or dinan CAI.

I wouldn't get it. I'd get a supercharger .

Spending $ on exhaust, CAI, and ECU will get you 10hp, 15hp if you're lucky. NA tuning is by far the worse power to $ ratio, and I'm a cheap bastard.

Unless of course, he wanted the nice sound and the growl to go with the charger.

He was looking for software, so I assumed he was going for performance.

I would love a f--king supercharger but thats a lot cash. i may consider next year, also need my car as a daily driver and i do not want to sacrafice reliabilty in any way. I thought i would get more that 10-15 Hp but i guess i still get better throttle response and yes it will sound much better especially with that Quad racing pipes from eisenmann. But i am still uncertain about which cold air intake and software to go with. I gather most use dinan software, but will that work with non dinan exhaust and Cold air intake? I have also heard of a software called shark or somthing.Also do most people stll go to this Alpine shop you have talked about?

I have had some dealings with Reg, and there are few people in Calgary as knowledgeable as he is. However, you pay dearly for his expertise, he runs a very busy shop and has alot of customers with deep pockets. RCTS is an authorized Dinan shop too, and have a very reliable dynojet. After you build a bit of a relationship with a shop things usually swing your way as well.
