Question when using RACECHIP

So RaceChip has three modes:
1. Eco
2. Sport
3. Race

Is there any benefit to putting my car into Sport Plus AND running RaceChip in "Racing" setting or should I really just keep it on regular Comfort mode plus RACE setting on RaceChip?
I guess a better way of asking this is, does Running in Sport Mode PLUS RACE setting for RaceChip have any sort of conflicting or detrimental performance effects?

Hi, Any pigibag will be the same - its lowering the ride quality, the car is more "nervous" in a sense. Pigibag just a proxy that takes the command that was sent to the engine and changes it a bit.
I do not like the feel of it, it will add more HP, but depends on what are you looking for.

Thanks for the Reply. I do like the feel of it, what I wanted to know is that if there is any benefit to being in Sport Mode plus using the Sport mode of Racechip.

Yes. Just treat it independently. If you select it on race mode, then every drive mode is boosted with extra power. Basically your eco mode is now sport or sport plus. When you go to sport plus mode on the car with RC on race mode, that will be the fastest your car can run
