RKTunes 1213whp F80!?

[jpy1980]

How is this not being talked about on the board? 1213 freaking whp!

I was perusing YouTube today and this video popped up and I was 😮 when I saw the HP dyno. Wtf! That’s crazy!

And here I thought my car was blazing fast with the bm3 91 octane stage 1 tune. What the heck do these people do with all that power?!

Yeah he's the pioneer of the single turbo on this platform and has had that setup going on a few years now I think. It took him forever to break into the 9's in the 1/4 mile with 1000 whp because the car just did not like all that power. His car sounds sooooo good though! Wish he took it out to race more and made more content with it

From my brief YouTube research, wasnt it his tune that got the Maxpsi record?

Jordan goes hard. His car is sick!

[mike@x-ph.com]

+1 for Jordan, he's doing a great job with this platform

[Wanted_M]

Slap some DR's and roll the "M-jet". We need to see roll races or 1/4 times. Nice job

Jordan is friggin nuts, a good thing.
He made 1100HP, caught fire, and came back with 1200!

That pretty damn impressive

I never looked into who tuned their car but I would believe it. He sure knows a lot about these cars and BMW's. I'm pretty sure he was also the first tuner to get the new Supra into the 9's.

I think there's a running joke in the Tri-State area that if you hear a car with an obnoxious gunshot or burble tune it's probably tuned by him hahaha

I can confirm this haha

Why is there shade for RK Tunes then? I hear people call them RK booms and stuff.

[SYT_Shadow]

RK does pretty good stuff. I would use him far sooner than almost every single other tuner.

In NY some guys show off with crazy burble/gunshot/flame tunes. Since Jordan is a great tuner I guess the shop catches some backlash. I've only heard good things about his tunes.

If you're someone who pushes the limits (like me) you're bound to break things, regardless of the tuner.

He's also very receptive with getting back on changes as I've worked with him in the past, glad to see he's still doing his thing on the platform. Side note: Really wish the gunshots though on my side of Queens would stop, COVID has really given way for it to be an every day thing

If I had to guess, all the shade is probably from locals who are just annoyed with the mass amounts of people with gunshot tunes waking them up in the middle of the night. Hence the RK Booms nickname maybe haha unless he's blown some motors up then that's probably why

[jpy1980]

Whoa are the gunshot burble tunes that plentiful and that annoying? That’s crazy to think that it’s so bad that people complain.

[TacoJova]

As someone who had a flame tune yes it's stupid loud. Sounds like a literal gunshot
