The more coming in the smoother and safer they can make the tuning at any power level, but it comes at a price of extra installation complexity. That is why JB4 lets you install only 2/5 connections if you want but suggests you install at least 3/5. They want to pick off some RaceChip customers who want an easier install regardless of the less smooth/worse tuning.
Gotcha. When I was talking about aggressive I meant how the tune deploys the power. From my limited research I heard the RC eases into the power and JB4 is more of an early revs power dump. this would be true in all map settings supposedly. Haven't seen the hp/tq curves with just 91 oct so wondering if anyone could confirm this
Even if this were true which I doubt, jb4 has a custom map mode where you can set your own boost adjustments per RPM.
