What Makes Racebox Special

Our humble beginnings

Racebox was conceptualized when our founder Hussain Boxwala was trying to purchase a tune for his VR30 powered Q50 back in 2018. When speaking with tuners, he realized that there was a need for clear communication, honest work, and prompt response service. In an effort to create the best customer experience possible, Hussain set out to develop his first Q50 calibration on his personal vehicle.

100% Honest Marketing

Our main goal is to provide customers with the most realistic expectations for their vehicles. This means we'll never lie about the mods on our shop cars, the times they run, or the power they make. We aim to always provide the most information possible, like listing ambient conditions and correction factors on all dyno charts. We're not here to push an agenda, we're here to help you achieve your goals.

World-class Customer Support

There's nothing more frustrating than waiting weeks for a reply from your tuner, which is why we'll never take longer than 48 hours to get back to you. Often times, it's same day replies. We know you value your time, and so do we. We're reachable via phone, text, or e-mail, and we'll never leave you hanging :)

Racemode Tuning FAQ

We've curated a list of the most common questions y'all have when reaching out to us. Please see the cards to the right for some of the more frequent ones.

What is S63 Racemode Tuning?

S63 Racemode Tuning isn't just a tune, it's a transformation. Our proprietary MHD calibration unlocks the full potential of your F90 M5, F9x M8, or X5M/X6M. Expect big horsepower, massive torque, and throttle response sharp enough to feel wired to your right foot. Whether you're dominating the street or the track, this tune sets you apart.

Is S63 Racemode Tuning safe for my ride?

Safe? Absolutely. Reliable? 100%. We don’t just throw numbers at the dyno and call it a day—we fine-tune your setup to perform like a beast without sacrificing your engine’s health. Reliability and power go hand-in-hand when Racebox is behind the wheel.

Which vehicles can run S63 Racemode Tuning?

If it's got an S63 under the hood, you're good to go. That includes the BMW F90 M5, F91/F92/F93 M8, F95 X5M, and F96 X6M. We're ready to take your car to the next level.

What kind of power are we talking here?

On a stock-turbo S63, our custom tune makes roughly 680 whp / 680 wtq on 93 octane, and about 750 whp / 750 wtq on E30 flex fuel. Running upgraded turbos? Power climbs well beyond that depending on your turbos and supporting mods, reach out and we'll talk targets for your build. As always, every dyno chart we publish lists the ambient conditions and correction factor.

What do the different S63 tune options include?

Every S63 Racemode tune is a custom calibration dialed in for your exact car. Here are the options:

Custom Stock Turbo (93 Octane):

• For stock-turbo cars on premium pump gas.

• Around 680 whp / 680 wtq on a healthy setup.

• Strong daily-to-track power with OEM reliability retained.

Custom Stock Turbo (Flex Fuel):

• Adds E30 flex-fuel support (flex-fuel kit required).

• Around 750 whp / 750 wtq on E30.

• E85 / higher ethanol requires HPFP/LPFP upgrades.

Custom Upgraded Turbo:

• For cars running upgraded turbochargers and supporting mods.

• Fully custom targets, logged and revised to your build.

Which tune should I choose for my S63?

It comes down to your setup and fuel:

• Stock turbos on pump gas? Go with the Custom Stock Turbo (93 Octane) tune.

• Running a flex-fuel kit and want more? The Custom Stock Turbo (Flex Fuel) tune on E30 is the move.

• Upgraded turbos and big power goals? Pick the Custom Upgraded Turbo tune and we'll build to your targets.

Can Racemode handle ethanol blends like E30 or E85?

Absolutely. Ethanol is the secret sauce for serious power.

• E30: Requires a flex-fuel kit, no additional upgrades needed.

• E85 (E50+): Requires HPFP/LPFP upgrades along with a flex-fuel kit.

We'll optimize your S63 for ethanol blends so you can put the extra fuel to work.

Does the tune come with launch control and map switching?

Not at this time. The S63 Racemode package is a single custom calibration built for your setup and fuel. We're not offering in-tune map switching or launch control on this platform right now. If that changes, we'll update this page.

Do I have to visit the shop for Racemode Tuning?

Nope. You could be in Houston or halfway across the globe—we’ve got you covered. All you need is an MHD WiFi adapter, a smartphone, and an internet connection. We’ll walk you through the whole process like you’re here with us.

What do I need to get started with Racemode Tuning?

Here’s your checklist:

• MHD WiFi adapter.

• A solid smartphone or laptop (Windows OS for advanced options).

• A good internet connection.

• Any mods already installed before the first flash—don’t leave us guessing.

How long does the tuning process take?

On average, 6–10 business days. How fast we finish depends on how quickly you respond and send logs. Custom tuning is a team effort—don’t ghost us, and we’ll get you ripping down the road ASAP.

What if I run into issues during the process?

Problems? Not a chance—just solutions. Call us at (832) 786-9038 or hit us up on the email thread you’re already in. Attach your data logs, DTC codes, and any details, and we’ll get it sorted. You’re not alone in this.

Can I tweak the tune later?

While we don’t include lifetime updates for modifications, you can always pay for a retune if your setup changes. If the changes are minor and within the first month—like adding certain mods we already support—we’ll update it for free. Just reach out, and we’ll let you know what qualifies.

Will this void my warranty?

It depends on your dealership, and let’s face it, some are chill, and some aren’t. They’ll need to prove the tune caused an issue to void your warranty. Pro tip: we give you a stock file to flash back before you roll into the service bay. Talk to your advisor and play it smart.

How do I keep my S63 running strong after tuning?

Maintenance is everything when you’re running tuned. Stay on top of your oil changes (high-quality synthetic only), swap those spark plugs regularly, and keep an eye on fluids like coolant and transmission oil. Also, invest in upgraded cooling options—like a larger heat exchanger or auxiliary radiators—to keep temps in check when pushing serious power.

How fast do you respond?

Fast. We aim for a 24-48 hour turnaround during business days. Custom tunes often see daily revisions unless we’re slammed, in which case it’s closer to 48. Either way, you’ll never be left hanging—no ghosting, no weeks of waiting. That’s not how we roll.

What mods do I need to run Racemode Tuning?

None, technically. Racemode Tuning delivers power gains even on stock setups. But if you want to go all-in, start with upgraded downpipes, free-flowing exhaust, and an intake system. The more you bring to the table, the harder we can push.

What if I’m new to the tuning game?

First things first: get your car up to date with basic maintenance (fluids, spark plugs, filters). Once that’s dialed in, start with the essentials—downpipes, intercoolers, and exhaust upgrades. Call us if you need advice—we’ll steer you right.

What if I’m not local to Houston?

No big deal. We’ve tuned over 5,000 cars worldwide without ever meeting the drivers in person. As long as you’ve got the gear (MHD adapter, phone), we can bring Racebox-level performance to you.
