Drive modes vs. RaceChip settings

[Michael F. Levanduski]

I continue to think about getting the RaceChip and been reviewing the treads in this section. Still trying to figure out how the chip relates to the drive modes; i.e., stinger has 4 drive modes, eco, comfort, sport, & smart where as the chip has 3, eco, sport, & race. I can see setting both on eco. both on sport, bout what about race - what is the best setting?

Sport+Race

With the JB4 we read the mode via CANbus and scale boost accordingly. So each mode works as it normally would just progressively stronger as a function of pedal input. Part of the reason it's smoother than other boxes out there.

The Kia Stinger modes and the RaceChip modes are independent from each other. By the way, the Stinger modes do not change the horsepower of your car. RaceChip does.

There is not "the best setting". Different persons like different settings and combinations. Customizing is one of the reasons why people mod their cars.
Furthermore, the best setting depends on the driving situation. You can combine all settings. Just choose the ones you like.
